    Johnson Starter

    I am trying to revive a 1981 Johnson 90 HP. It has not been started for about 4 years. It was last used in the bays of Texas. We pulled the plugs and put some oil in the cylinders and let it sit for a week. After a week, we then hand turned the motor, with the plugs, out for several minutes. It...
