    Motor won’t start. Low compression

    I have a ‘73 50HP Johnson that I purchased last summer. I always have a really hard time getting it to start. Once it warm it starts fine, but if it sits idle for a week or so same issues. I just recently de-winterized it, and the only way I got it to fire was by spraying a bunch of starter...

    New to Electrical

    I recently obtained a 1976 Starcraft Super Sport 16. The price was too good to pass up so I knew there would be some projects. I quickly learned that all the accessories worked intermittently. At first I thought it may be a battery issue but now I'm thinking it may be a wiring issue. The current...
