Re: johson 60 hp

Welcome!!<br /><br />Go to the main forums page and it's at the top. <br /><br />I see you checked for spark. But you didnt say if it was there or not. We'll assume it was, right?

Re: johson 60 hp

have to check fly wheel key is this common problem with ones that have been sitting?????

Re: johson 60 hp

Not common but not unususl. Usually it's carbs but you said you cleaned them. Did you install new kits?<br /><br />Do you have spark?

 

[coopdvl]

Re: johson 60 hp

yes new kits but also can not even get motor to try to start when spraying fuel through the carb wont even try

Re: johson 60 hp

Again -- you checked spark. Does it have spark?

 

[coopdvl]

Re: johson 60 hp

yes to spark

Re: johson 60 hp

Either you don't have any spark or its very weak, or as was mentioned, the flywheel key has sheared or begun to shear which upsets timing. With fuel, air, spark and proper timing it has to at least attempt to run. You are missing one or more of the above.

Re: johson 60 hp

One more thought -- did you check spark on ALL cylinders. If you are spraying fuel into a cylinder with no spark, the other cylinders will not fire if there is a fuel problem. Are the plugs getting wet? If so, you have a spark problem. If not, you have a fuel problem.

Re: johson 60 hp

fly wheel key is good i have fire on all three cylinders, will check for the plugs to get wet after i turn it over, not spraying any fuel....

Re: johson 60 hp

Re: johson 60 hp

Are you sure you have spark with the plugs in?
