I just purchased a 1978 Johnson, after resealing the lower unit which I knew was bad from the test run, I attempted to fire the engine, which I have heard run. I'm not sure what happened, but apparantly I have lost spark in two plugs, both the same side. Upon further inspection i could tap the "power pack" with my hand and get the spark to go. I ordered a new power pack. I Cranked on that thing for quite some time while making sure I had spark on that side. Couldn't get the motor to fire forever. when I pulled the plugs they were dry. How long does it take to pull the fuel into the motor, I shouldn't have to burn up an entire battery, anyone have any easy fixes, I'm putting off cleaning carbs till this winter unless that is absolutly what it is going to take. Any suggestions, is that normal...
