Hello, I have been working on a 1985 40 hp johnson outboard.
It is a two cylinder with one carb and the top cylinder is dead with full compression. It appears as though it is getting way to much fuel. The spark plugs are brand new along with the coil packs. When the boat is first started the electric primer leaks and the the seals seam to warm up and the leaking stops. Carb is clean and I am assuming that the needles are adjusted because the bottom cylinder fires perfectly. Haven't looked into timing or fuel pump yet, possible problems here?
Anything would help at this point. Thanks
