1956 model, but it may have been actually made in 1955.

Re: old johnson

Thanks tx and JB

My 7.5hp 1956 Johnson will not even try to start. Spark is strong.
Plenty of gas. Carb is clean. Still it will not fire. What could be wrong?
How do I know for sure the spark plug wires go to the correct cylinder ?
I've tried both ways but still nothing. Does it have a kill switch somewhere?
etc.

Re: old johnson

Is if flooding? If not, spritz/spray some gas in the carb throat and see if it fires. Is the carb ajusted correctly...check the top secret file at the top of the J/E forum...adjusting carbs.
