Ok here goes nothing but I figure it is worth a shot since ya'll helped get my 63 evinrude running. Just aquired a Cabin Cruiser project from my son it has a 150 hp Johnson 1978. I know the starter is shot so where is the best place to get an inexpensive replacement. next it only seems to fire intermitantly to the plugs. some times all work some times a couple sometimes one bank sometimes the other bank. Where do I start to try and get this motor to breath some life? Note: This motor has probably not been fired up in a good 10 years but does spin freely is there an easy test for coils? is there a way to test the stator? does this motor have points? like I mentioned in my evinrude posts outboards are pretty much new to me But I can follow simple instructions and even more complexed ones when need. was an aircraft mechanic for 10 years so I am not afraid to get a lot dirty this is just my newest project and would love to have it running and floating by spring. any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
