[QUOTE="Gumby, post: 144765, member: 3296"] Ok I am ready to try and start my motor today So I could use some help with any suggestions I have a 1972 Johnson 6hp motor that I want to try and start. I am new to the boating life so this is my first gas motor I fished the last 2 years in a buster boat with a trolling motor. ok so I got a 50 gallon drum from a friend of mine to put the motor in and fill with water since the motor doesnt have spot to hook up water hose.... And this is about were im ready for suggestions. The guy I got it from SAYS it ran last summer but you know how that goes. Kind of gave me a run down on starting it and said it has a real touchy idel spot. Should I pull the carb and clean it out? Do I need to check an oil level? Is there an easy way to tell if water pump is working once it starts? [/QUOTE]
