[QUOTE="pjcalla, post: 331801, member: 12279"] I have been searching cl for the last 3-4 months to find an outboard. I found a 1992 johnson short shaft, rope start that may work out. The problem is that it doesn't have the carburetor or starter. I have browsed ebay to see if the parts can be found, and it seems that they are available. Would you take on this project? Are the '90s johnsons worth messing with? I'm new at this, and my only experience is with a 15hp 1978 johnny. Is there a way to test compression without the starter? What would you look for when inspecting the motor (assuming you would mess with it)? What would you offer? Any input is greatly appreciated. I'm sick of looking at my tinny just sitting in the driveway, and want to get it out on the water. [/QUOTE]
