Hey there all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Bought an '81 Johnson 40 commercial tiller engine and haven't been able to get it running smooth. Seems to start up quick but skips every 5th beat. It will stay running and rev up when throttle is applied, but dies soon after throttle down. The top spark plug is black and sooty, bottom plug is dark and wet.
Hope someone can help me draw an informed conclusion based on these symptoms. In the mean time, I have a carburetor
kit, condensers, and points on order... thanks for your time!
