    77' johnson 35hp

    Working on a friend's 35hp outboard. When he got it, it did not run. The first thing I checked for was spark, and there was none. The engine was not grounding out through the harnes because I disconected it. We pulled the fly wheel and changes the points and condensers. After we put it back...

    Johnson 225 ocean runner 1996 won't start on 1 batt

(1, 2, both, off) If on batt 1 or 2, I can NOT start the engine from the KEY switch (It will turn over just not start). But I CAN start it if I use a screw...
