    1975 9.9 sea horse

    Once again this morning with the gas in the neck of the carb I got it to hit a couple times a puff smoke so we’re on the right track guys the little motor is just inches from having life and I can sense it. I’ll have the drill turning the flywheel and it’ll crank and crank then at once it’ll...

    Alright so I am getting the 5/16 spark that you believe that I need and the coil hookup wires can only go one way not vise versa I guess Johnson made them so whoever was working on it made it idiot proof so you wouldn’t have it wired backwards “you can flip the ends but then you know for sure...

    Let me dig my tester out and see what I can find out to be exact.. and if nothing else I’ll switch the coil wires back????……

    I have not built a gap tester yet, i just done that for you guys last night and it would shoot a strong blue spark but hang on I’ll dig mine out

    I’ll clean it up first thing in the morning when I can see what I doing but I’ll let you be the judge of my spark. I think that’s plenty of spark. That’s plug #1

    That’s the top view I’m not sure how to tell if they are wired correctly or not but I just replaced the one coil so all I had to do was connect the one male to female end and that was that. I’ve also got out here tonight and had it hit a couple times just spraying gas down the neck of the carb...

Maybe y’all can help with that. Don’t mind the granddaddy long leg lol. He’s helping me troubleshoot also.

    Yes I have been actually. But to answer that question they’re wet. But not carbon buildup or anything else, I can go crank it 3-4 times pull a plug and burn the excess gas off.

    I will give that a look and upload a picture here shortly. Without you guys. This Johnson was headed to the scrap yard I’m not ready to give up on it yet!! I’m gonna clean up the armature plate for you guys first and I’ll upload a picture

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    As far as I know it’s in time you guys helped me with that a lotso that would make it spark at the correct time but somehow it’s still not hitting and I’ve adjusted the air to fuel ratio that’s why I was wondering if maybe the plugs were firing backwards. But when it’s at TDC the timing marks...

    It is getting fuel, and I have a spray bottle that I have used on many occasions with go-go juice in it (gas) but no fire.. it’s like the thing is hitting on the exhaust stoke for a second. Then it won’t at all. Idk maybe if that was the case when I switched the plug wires around wouldn’t that...

    0.20”check. spark check. Gas Check Nice solid compression….. check. Here’s where it gets fun. You guys helped me line up the timing marks on the armature plate and flywheel. And do the link and sync on the carb. All of that checked out to be great. But still not a bit of a BRAAAAAAPPPPPP...

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    I flipped the plug wires again and it hit a few times like maybe three but nothing to amount to anything. And I did check the link and sync also it’s fine, you mentioned that the plugs must be firing at bottom dead center?? How is that possible the motor can’t be 180 out, unless the keyway is...

    Not sure what you mean by I’m overthinking the timing marks. Buddy, I’m just thinking something isn’t right lol

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    I’m not sure where to go from here honestly. I have cleaned my points with a fingernail file everything I’ve done seems to be adding up right but I’m not getting it to hit. And yea you’re right. Directly into the cylinder it should at least hit for that Mili second or combustion but mannnn I’ve...

    Just did this and the timing marks line up when at TDC

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    Yes I used a filler gauge. And I noticed the armature plate moved when the throttle was moved but that still wouldn’t make my timing marks line up…. I’m just baffled the closest marine shop said he could have it running no doubt with what all I’ve told you guys it’s just a 100 dollar minimum...

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    Also I forgot to add. My marks don’t add up on the flywheel and armature plate? Does this even matter? If it does how to I correct it? Cause I see no way to see the keyway will not allow it to spin without the cam also

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    Thanks for the quick reply guys!! I did not check the spark with a gap tester, back to the compression.. I was told 90 pounds was ideal for this old of a motor as long as it didn’t leak off and it doesn’t… but you guys know more than me that’s why I’m here asking for help haha. Now back...
