Hello, I have a 1975 Johnson 25hp. Running 89 with 50:1 mix. I had it out for the first time in 2 yrs the other day and it just stopped. I went to start it again and I could not pull the rewind starter. I figured it had seized up, but was able to pull it after about 45 min. It would not start though and when I opened it up, I noticed a crack in each of the ignition coil casing... So that is why it has no spark, but why was it getting so hot?
