Re: 18hp johnson damaged spark plug
I have not had an opportunity to compare the correct plugs with the bad ones yet. Been way to swamped with work and night classes. I plan to spend some time on it tomorrow. When I took the bad plugs out I just put my thumb over the opening and and turned the flywheel and there was plenty of suction. I'm sure I would need some special tool to do a real compression check. This motor had been setting for two years when I bought it so yesterday I went ahead and ordered the carb rebuild kit, and Clymer manual. But I just read something that said the Clymer manual's aren't that good......
