    Johnson 20R71S 20 HP

    Picked this engine up for a song. Sat for 4 years. I got it started ran a while then stopped. I believe because I didn't have gas can vented. My question is If you got this engine what would be the first thing? Check Points, coil, condensors? Carb?

    Just a question 1971 18 hp Fastwin

    I figured out my water pump issue. The water pipe was not seated in the Water pump housing grommet. My question is, is that pipe copper? Why wouldn't Evinrude use something more durable?
