I have a 1963 18hp Johnson. I have finished looken at the lower end gears (nothing) looken too bad.
Replaced the water pump "impeller" and some gromlets/gaskets and am ready to see if this motor has life.
This motor although taken care of has (not) been started in about 5 to 7 years.
I think I need some advise as how to better my hand so to speak before I pull the "rope of life" on this motor. I think I will just (prime) the carb and give the clylinder a bit of oil and give her a pull.
Does that sound logical?
Thanks in advance,
17ft'r
