I have a mid 70's Johnson 20 hp. and it hasn't been running right. Found today that the lower spark plug wire is burnt and shorting against the hood latch.
How hard is it to change that myself, it looks like I will need to pull the flywheel in order to do this, is this correct? and also where do I find the plug wire to buy from?
Also there is a vacuum line fitting on the right hand side (standing behind the boat and looking at the motor) that is very small and the only place that I can see it goes to is another hookup under the carb. but it is twice the size so the vacuum line would have to have 2 different size ends to work. What am I missing looking at this?
Right now I have them both blocked off with screws but really want it right.
Thanks in advance.
