I think I've gotten that gunk when I idled in a barrel too long.
Is that what that motor calls for?
Unless you have a vintage Johnson, I would think you should be closer to 50:1 - That would be less ounces of oil per gallon than what you are mixing at 24:1. 24:1 seems like way too much oil per...
Every motor seems to be slightly different, but for mine I have to raise the throttle handle up about an inch and a half, and then just do a squirt when cranking. I don't hold or keep the key pushed in while cranking. But that's just mine.
Once the motor is warm, I don't have to push the key in...

I struggled with getting the trim correct. And you can see I was porpoising some at the end.

I'm figuring out...
Everything and every search I've done says it's fine using as premix.

In another thread I posted that my timing was way too retarded.
I used the "Joe Reeves" method and set the timing at 23 degrees BTDC. It was somewhere around 18.

I installed a tach and took it out today. WOT puts me at around 5300 rpm.

I was a little worried that I grabbed the wrong can.
I've been using Pennzoil mineral 2-stroke oil, but I figured I'd try full synthetic with my new to me 1994 Johnson. It wasn't much different in color when mixed.
So I mixed one gallon of Full Synthetic and one gallon of the Pennzoil mineral.

I checked the flywheel to verify it's groove lined up with the key in the shaft. Looks good.
.
I then re-verified the TDC mark on the flywheel lines up correctly with the pointer when I am at true TDC.

I advanced the throttle linkage as far as it will go. The roller in the slot is tight...
I cleaned both the shaft and hole in the flywheel with acetone. Let it dry and then re-installed the flywheel - making sure the key stayed lined up with the groove in the hole in the flywheel.
I then used a recommended sealer on the threads for the flywheel nut.
Tightened down in stages until I...
Thanks
It's 105 foot pounds for torque.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything and if the key looks good to others.

Oh, and yes, I understand the key isn't what keeps the flywheel from spinning on the shaft. It's the binding of the taper of the shaft along the correct torque value.
So the reason for making sure no oils, etc, between the mating surfaces.
I wanted to make sure I'm going to reinstall the flywheel correctly.

I read some threads about lapping, but I understood that to only be required when trying to pair up a new flywheel to the existing crankshaft.
.
The OMC Manual just says to clean it with their product. Others suggest acetone...
