1984 Johnson outboard 150 VRO new battery and battery cables. moter doesnt turn fast enough to start. removed #1 plug and got it to start. is there a compression release for easier starting on this model? model # E150TLCRD..THANKS
it originally had 6 guage cables and i opted to go with 4 guage. the starter i dismantled to check brushes and they looked to be in new condition(very clean as though just rebuilt) i purchased this boat motor and trailer for a song and dance. as stated before, i started it with plug out of #1 cylinder and then again with the new battery(800cc amps) and a battery charger with a 200 amp starting boost. spun the motor real good and started easily.
