Re: 1976 Johnson 115
Well, guys, I spent a weekend messing with the boat and motor and noticed that it was printed on a tag near on the intake that originally the motor took champion plug:L774, if I recall correctly. If I put on the extra thick gaskets, what is generaly an accepted compression for a 1976 115 johnson motor.(my cold compression was 3 125's and 1 120 for 4 cylinders). When I started the motor this weekend I noticed that the choke plate do open up a bit when I crank over the motor(electric choke solinoide sp? has a spring on it)which is said to not be good(reduces the vaccume to take fuel out of the fuel bowl). Hope I'm barking up the right tree on that. All help Is totally apreciated. PDS.
