Hello, All !!! I was pretty tickled when I ran across this Forum.....a lot of good guys & gals and a lot of good info!
I just got a steal of a deal on a boat, motor, and trailer, a 17' Silverline Comoro-(I think) with a '72 100hp Johnson Hydro Electric Drive.
I've fiddled with a few motors before...nothing major....but may need some help with the electronics on this one. It has good compression, good lower unit, plugs, wires, it cranks good and looks like new under the cover but no spark. I've ordered a manual but it will be a while before it gets here.
I've been using the time to bone up using this site .....maybe someone has some advice about those things like I always end up wishing I new then what I know now that I've broken it or made it worse.
Sounds like I might need some special equipment if I'm gonna do this myself, any suggestions?
...maybe there are parts that might be suspect that I can easily test in the mean time?
A Buddy once told me to stay away from the Electric Shift but this thing practically fell in my lap.
