    Johnson Outboard 9.5 1973 9R73B can hardly pull start with spark plugs in but with plugs removed pulls very easy

    Right? I will pass that on! I do enjoy learning how to make things work again. If I get in too deep I take a step back and do more investigation and consult experts! Thanks for the support!

    Johnson Outboard 9.5 1973 9R73B can hardly pull start with spark plugs in but with plugs removed pulls very easy

    Crosbyman, Thank you, I have been knee deep in You Tube videos and feel pretty confident I will get this running well. I just do not want to be out on the lake and I can't get it started. My lake ( Lake Isabella) in Ca. gets windy without notice. Alot of my friends think I'm crazy as I just...

    Johnson Outboard 9.5 1973 9R73B can hardly pull start with spark plugs in but with plugs removed pulls very easy

    I couldn't get it to start before the deep creep, but did finally get it started up with lots of smoke today and it fired up 3 to 4 more times after. Still having a problem getting it started but I can use the pull cord again not frozen. Think carb clean out with new plugs will help

    Thank you Crosbyman, I have found Leroy's Rambling's pages, great information! I haven't been able to run it since before putting the Deep Creep in but figured it may help get it started. Now the locking situation is going on. I will drop the GC and check GC oil for water intrusion. Just...

    Thanks jimmbo, I am letting it sit a bit longer and pulling the cord without the plugs to spurt out the oil. After do some research it seems like I will get it to work just going to take a bit of time. I am hoping the Deep Creep didn't ruin anything.

    Johnson Outboard 9.5 1973 9R73B can hardly pull start with spark plugs in but with plugs removed pulls very easy

    After using Deep Creep in spark plug holes seems like there is too much compression to pull cord to start. Just bought this and it started up before purchase and a couple of times when I put boat in the water, but nothing since. I could pull the cord before Deep Creep but not now. Only can...
