Re: 4 hp Johnson recoil starter help...
So here's the scenario, this motor is my neighbors. He told me its just been sitting for 8 yrs. Ive broken that spring a few times already and now Ive decided to get a new one and install. I understand I should have the factory manual, but I dont own this motor and Im just not ready to buy a manual.. Is there a trick to installing the new one?? Also, it runs pretty good - getting it started is another story. I dont think I should have to pull that sucker more than three times to start, right now thats not the case. I can only assume the carb needs a cleaning. Can carb cleaner be used as it runs similar to a car?? I really dont want to start tearing something apart that isnt mine if you know what I mean.
Thanks again guys@!!!
