"I have a 79 4 hp that was on
"I have a 79 4 hp that was on a Jon I bought that has never ran for any extended time since I bought it. It's getting spark, compression seems good (finger in plug hole) and it's getting fuel. Thought it was flooding (wet plug) and cleaned and rebuilt the carb but it is extreamly hard to get to fire. Fuel is fresh and tank is venting. Did get it to run for about 30 sec at one time. I'm no outboard mechanic and I grew frustrated and put it away til winter, well it's winter and I still don't know where to turn next. Anybody have any suggestions / help?"
