Choke to Primer Conversion Johnson 135 1973

[OperativeK]

Has anybody ever converted from the choke system on any of these old johnsons to the primer system? I want a easier start and would want to know if this would bring it up to par. It starts fine but just not as quickly as I would like.

Yep, no problem. Not hard at all and it will indeed help it start quicker.

I don't want to steal your thread OpK but I have a related question for Dhadley. Can I exchange the intake manifold and related primer system parts from '82 140hp rude to my current '79 100hp rude? Chief Chief

Dhadley what parts would I need just the primer and some way to attach it? or is there a kit?

There's no kit and you really dont need to change manifolds. The primer goes where the choke solenoid is now. Then you decide if you want to inject gas in the by-pass covers or in the intake passages right behind the carb.

Bought a primer for the 115 off ebay:<br /> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...d=1,1&item=4626732500&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT <br /><br />Any advice/instructions for the install? I would like to install into the bypass cover. guessing that would give the better result>?
