"It seems as if I am doing a lot of posting.
1976 Johnson 15 HP is really hard to start.
Primer bulb is firm and does not leak down. No gas leaking from caurb. New power packs, new plugs, points look ok, did find one condenser wire frayed. caurb been cleaned. Once started it runs out quite well. Just hard starting. Except for the condenser work performed by someone else.
It has good spark good rpm. I give it a small shot of starting fluid and she fires right up. Leads me to believe that it is a fuel problem that may lead to a rebuilt. Any other suggestions it sure is hard to give it a squirt of starting fluid due to lack of access to ;the caurb. I sure should have spent 20 years navy instead of army Foot soldier all the way. Hello army, navy and all other veterans."
