1964 Johnson 9.5 not wanting to start

[SEABEE#2]

Just picked up a 64 Johnson 9.5 that is not wanting to start. Put in new points, condensers, and coils. Took carb apart and looks pretty clean. It gets gas every once in a while. The longest it has run for was 10 seconds then it dies...Any ideas? Thanks!

Define: "it gets gas once in a while"?

You need three things to run:

1. Spark.

2. Compression.

3. Fuel.

Per your comments, we need to head to #3>

I hand crank the flywheel to get more gas from the fuel pump and it runs every once in a while after I do that. I believe that it is getting more gas when I crank the flywheel by hand. Thats when I believe that it is getting its gas once in a while.

Sounds like fuel delivery, have you tried to pump the fuel line bulb to see if it will keep running?

yes. I have even put on a different carb that I know works. The ball wont pump anymore. It is as hard as a rock

found out that where the spark plug goes in, the thread wasnt too good. where could i get a cylinder plate that is not too expensive? Thanks!

If you trying to say that the spark plug threads in the head arn't good, take it to a machine shop and let them install a heli-coil for you.
