I have a 1969 85HP Johnson that has not been started in a while a long while. The ignition switch is faulty but I jumped it from the starter and the starter turn. The motor acted like it was having a hard time turning. What should I do to this outboard before I make an attempt make it start for the first time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also thanks for all the great help provided here.
