New Old Boat - new guy

[80 T-Bird F-1]

I'll introduce myself as I picked up a bit of a project but I really like the look of this old boat.. nice lines on this boat IMHO. Got it at give away price as engine is not starting.. but it turns over freely I think it may just be a spark issue. Here begins the money pit. I'll warn you I'll have questions as this is my first (motor) boat and I'd rather not pick up a new motor for $14,000.

It appears I can't upload a photo here like on Pelican parts for the p-cars forum. it's a 1980 thunderbird formula one with Johnson 140

Take a look at "Outboard wont start" on the "Engine FAQs board" http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31

Several other topics there you may find useful. such as "Awakening a sleeping Outboard"

You can upload photos as attachments (see FAQ above) or you can link to photos on Photobucket etc
