Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
This 1983 Johnson 140hp v4 outboard motor has been sitting for 11yrs. Would it be worth getting it check out and worked on? The last time used ran for a while went back to put boat up and would not start has been setting since.
Absolutely! Clean the carbs, clean the fuel lines, change lower unit oil, INSTALL a NEW impellar (regardless of condition), Check compression, check for spark. Go for it.<br /><br />Bob
