Hi everyone, I was compelled to join this forum since I just bought a 1977 VIP trihull and with a 1978 85HP Johnson motor (model 85ml78c) that is not running correctly, it has a tough time on cold start but runs just OK when hot but it is easy to start once it has been running. I was hoping someone might have some specs I need until I get a service manual for it. I suspect I am having ignition issues so I would like to remove the flywheel and inspect the points and stator and also replace the spark plugs. Does anyone know what the flywheel and spark plugs torque specs are? I believe the gap specs for the plugs should be .30 but have read it can be as much as .40 so I will probably go .35, any thoughts on this idea? The first thing I am going to check today is compression and make sure that is not an issue.
