I've ohmed out my selanoid, it appears bad, teh circuit shows positive voltage so it seems good.

Motor wouldn't run long or rev up without dying. Manually flipped the red lever(it moves over 180 degrees...) and it would run and rev up.

I need to replace the part, plus the seals/orings, it sprayed fuel all over/dripped...

I searched I boats. No luck. Need to know where to look to order on line.

Thanks, Jeff

Re: 95/200 Johnson- Electric Fuel Primer

You should be running with the red lever positioned over top of the solenoid and pointing at the other end of the solenoid. Turning it 180 degrees, or away from the solenoid, allows the fuel to flow to the crankcase area. This is for emergency situations where you may need to rope start it. To note, leaving it in this position would cause it to flood the engine, possibly causing the condition you stated.
