I have a mid 70's Johnson Seahorse 2 hp that died while running today. I don't believe it's a fuel related issue as it shut down all at once as if someone turned off the light switch. A local lake mechanic was nice enough to do a spark test. It had none. I'd like to fix it myself but need some instruction or advise. How do I get to the ignition parts to inspect them? I'm afraid to take off the top cowel as I know there is a big recoil spring under there waiting to explode in my face. I made that mistake once before. Is that the only way to access the parts?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
