OK, i just pulled my boat from my slip. Pulled off the '77 70HP johnson and put it on the testing mount.<br /><br />The previous problems when on the boat was it was stalling after you put the throttle up in gear, one of the cylinders werent firing, and the spark plug threads were stripped on #2.<br /><br />So here's what i have discovered so far:<br /><br />#1 - the little linkage that moves something near the stator wasnt attached to the throttle bar. the little plastic grommit that holds that linkage is broken - anyone know the part # for this and where to get it? What problem could this cause?<br /><br />#2 - I replaced the coil on #3, and i am getting a intermittent spark, could be because of a loose plug cable though, I will test that part tomorrow. - Also, #1 and #2 get a decent spark..<br /><br />#3 - I am using a Heli-Coil on #2 to rethread the head.<br /><br />I tested the compression, all cylinders are 125psi, (Even without threads on #2, i just held it really hard on the hole)<br /><br />I rebuilt the carbs when the motor was on the boat, so that is ruled out...<br /><br />Any ideas?
