Inherited a Johnson 85 horse V4 model # 85ML78C last year. The motor sat for at least 2 years. Connected muffs and tried starting it last fall (out of water). It started after several atempts and seemed to run fairly well with one exception. No water was coming out of the telltale. Is this normal when running out of water with muffs? Do I need to attempt running while the motor is in the water to actually know if there is a problem at all?
I plan to try to clear out any possible plugs at the tell tale with a small wire when I go up next weekend. (the boat and motor are 1 1/2 hours away at the family cottage)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
