    What year and model? Serial number faded

    I had to go back and redo things. I couldn't leave it the way it was with timing at 19° BTDC, it just didn't look right. I attached a picture of what that adjustment bolt looked like, ready to slip off the plate when adjusted at 19. I kept digging around online and came across another forum...

    What year and model? Serial number faded

    Well, my back is not 100% and by the numbers from my compression test, neither is my motor haha. I got 80ish on both cylinders (a hair above 80 but not much). I actually was closer than I expected on the timing. Hooked up the light and was at about 16° BTDC. Since I don't have the rubber...

    What year and model? Serial number faded

    Thanks for the info. I haven't been able to tinker with the motor for a few days now, had a back issue and trying to recover from that. I did get a hold of a timing light and a compression tester but my back isn't having it right now. Rubber stop you say? My o/b doesn't have one. After cleaning...

    What year and model? Serial number faded

    The only number I see on that plug is the G2609437. I'm going with 1988 but not sure of model number at this point. The engine was not running right after cleaning the carbs. I didn't realize that what I thought was an idle screw, adjusted idle by changing the ignition timing which I'm sure is...

    What year and model? Serial number faded

    Yes, the number stamped into that plug is G2609437. I haven't gotten to do a compression test yet but I did fiddle with the linkages and they seem to be pretty close, I think. I also played with the ignition timing a bit and she's running a lot better. Doesn't sound to be as off but I need to...

    It's not revving up like it used to. Topping out around 6 mph, used to hit 30. Fouled out the spark plugs as well. I am running 50:1 mixed. I did install a new impeller not too long ago, maybe a couple of months. It ran fine a couple of seasons ago. I did not take it out last season. Pretty sure...

    Good to know, thank you. Any chance you know where I can find the carb link sync procedure?

    What year and model? Serial number faded

    Had to edit my original post. Not sure why I thought the cowl said evinrude. Ran out back to take a couple of pics and saw it says Johnson. I attached some pics. I'm assuming it's original paint scheme.

    What year and model? Serial number faded

    Hey, I'm new here and not sure if there is a thread dedicated to this already. I attempted to search but did not come up with a result. If I should have posted this somewhere else, I'm sorry but if anyone can help me out, thanks in advance! I have an outboard that I know nearly nothing about and...
