Yes, but it only started running rough after the seafoam. But yes, I will get those parts on there.

I put in new spark plugs since seafoaming.

I think the seafoam dislodged something. This second cleaning I may have resolved it - hopefully. I won't be able put it back together and start it until tomorrow evening. . I'll video it for how it runs so you guys can hear and maybe better demonstrate the possible issue.

Yeah, when I first went to look at it to buy it, it ran fine. The videos above are when I first got it home. It ran nice then too. Then I did a seafoam shock treatment, and then it started running rough. I'll try to get a video of how it runs poorly now.

If I didn't mention it, once I get it running again I'll look it over in the dark for any arcing.

What do you mean?

Good eye! Yes, I have that in my cart for next order - along with the roller on the upper linkage. 😊

Here is the same time as the video above - when I first got it home and before seafoam. . . I'll see if I can get a video Wednesday for how it's running now.

I forgot I had a YouTube channel for when I was working on my 65 C10. . Here is a video of the Johnson running when I first got it home last week before I did seafoam - before it started running rough:

This time I took out the 2 small jets in the two outer small holes in the fuel bowl. They looked clean, but I still ran a small wire through the jets and blew through them and the holes with carb cleaner. Every hole I blew through, I made sure cleaner was blowing out the other side. I also made...

They were nice and clean under there.

I sure don't like the suggestion some gave to drill a small hole to get it. I don't like the idea of possible metal shavings. Another guy said the plug is soft enough to use a Sheetrock screw. I'll do some more searching on ideas how to remove it.

I didn't see any kind of oil up there at that top crank seal. . Everything on this appears to have been well maintained, inspected, and cleaned. There's dates on ignition things with 2016 and several of the fuel lines are 2015. . I did a fuel leak test on the lines. I put bed sheet scraps under...

I may have missed cleaning these holes:

I need to get a DVA for my Multimeter just so I know I've done a I've checked it all out. But with a 7/16 bright blue spark at all plug wires, I'm going to just go back into the fuel system for now - double check the carburetors. The fuel lines have a date stamp of 01 and 15, so I'll replace...

I pulled the flywheel to look over the stator. I saw on Brandon's Garage where he cleaned up and put some lube on the surface where the timer base rotates. I figured I'd do that while I'm in there. I'll also check to see if everything is clean and dry there at that seal.

Are you talking about part #4 ?

Are you asking about #2 here? I did not remove it. It did come with the kit.

I'll see how I might check that.

I pulled the flywheel to look at stator, the underside of the flywheel, and the timer base assembly. All look good visually. . I guess I'll start going through all the ignition diagnosis tests in the repair manual. Might as well order all new fuel hoses and fuel pump. .
