I have an 88 6hp Johnson that won't go for love or money but ran two days ago! I strongly suspect old fuel because my brother who started it two days ago mixed about a half gallon of old gas in the tank from last year with two gallons of new gas, then ran the motor for 5 minutes and ran it out of gas.<br />I have changed the plugs, checked the fuel lines and cursed so far. It absolutely will not start or even fire for a second (there is plenty of spark), so I am assuming a carb blockage -- am I right and if so -- do I have to rebuild the carb or can I flush it out somehow?
