1975 Johnson 15 HP

[RLDuck]

Engine has good compression (125) both cylinders and good spark but will not start--where should I start looking?

Howdy, RLDuck.<br /><br />Welcome aboard. <br /><br />Go to Engine FAQs and read about why your outboard wont start.<br /><br />Good luck, and let us know what you find.

A quick thing to do here RL....take a spray bottle with a little fuel/oil mix in it and shoot some into the carb throat. Give it a pull and see if she fires. If she does....you'll know it's a fuel feed problem....<br /><br />And if ya' can...give us some history on the engine...like if it's new to you and stuff like that.
