Can anyone give information on a Johnson Seahorse 6 HP; Model number 6BA76A; Serial number B17645.<br /><br />Specially about the distance the spark plugs should be gapped, and which distance I should set the ignition points<br /><br />Thanks for your reaction

Hello, R-Dennis.<br /><br />Welcome to the international iboats board.<br /><br />Your engine is a 1976.<br /><br />Points should be gapped at .020" and plugs at .030" or .040". (Both gaps appear in the literature.)<br /><br />Correct fuel mix is 50:1, regular unleaded gas to TCW-3 rated outboard oil.<br /><br />Good luck.

Works just good. Gapped plugs and points as said and.... the johnny runs.<br /><br />Now it runs, I think there's a problem with the carb. (it wont't idle) Is it difficult to clean the carbs and how far must the rich/lean knob been turned into the carb.<br /><br />Thx Dennis
