Re: Slow recoil on Johnson 4hp Cord
Yep, spray the heck out of the assembly with WD-40 I'm sure that you'll need to do a lot more, once you get it to start.....and that's if you're lucky enough to get it started. At the very least, it'll definately need a new waterpump impeller and likely the carb and ignition system will need going through. Good little motors and well worth the effort. A have a comparable model in the Evinrude here and they run nice.
