    68 40hp bigtwin slow to pick up speed

    bad powerpack?

    I've done some research and haven't found much. Just swapped out power heads on my 87 johnson 30, used a 20hp with my new carb, intake and side cover. Took it out and it worked flawlessly. The next day I took it out and it was hard to start. Changed plugs and got it started after some...

    I have an 87 johnson 30hp that had mice in it. chewed up some of the cdi wires near the plug connection. Can i just cut out the plug and match up the wires, then wrap and waterproof the pile of wires? They chewed right at the plug so there is no wire left hanging out of the connector. Or is...
