Greetings.
I recently purchased a Johnson J6REEA X long. Barely used.
It will only start with just a whiff of ether.Seems to run ok. Will start normally while still warm.
I have adjusted the needle on the left of the carb, it only seems to change the idle.
Plugs come out dark tan, pretty...
Just bought this beast almost out of the crate. Problem; won't start without a whiff of ether. Have leaned it out as far as I dare with screw on left of carb. Still no self start. Also, I heard that this heavy beast can be "upgraded"
Any / all help much appreciated.
Regards.
