[QUOTE="OldTinBoatGuy, post: 321404, member: 9059"] Before taking the engine off, had to build a stand for it: [url=https://s580.photobucket.com/user/stealth1025/media/Project%20Lone%20Star/IMG_0497.jpg.html][img]https://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/stealth1025/Project%20Lone%20Star/IMG_0497.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://s580.photobucket.com/user/stealth1025/media/Project%20Lone%20Star/IMG_0498.jpg.html][img]https://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss241/stealth1025/Project%20Lone%20Star/IMG_0498.jpg[/img][/url] Moved down to the basement to work on. Since its been sitting for a few years, ordered the carb rebuild kit, got new plugs, a tune up kit and a repair manual. Should have that stuff in early next week and can hopefully get the old Johnson running. It looks to be in good shape on the inside and seems to have good compression. I tried starting it a few times and got a few good backfires and coughs but couldn't get her to start up. Hopefully the rebuild on the carb will do the trick. [/QUOTE]
