old engine 35hp johnson 1959

[joemike2]

i have an old 1959 johnson 35hp engine that i have yet to get started, but was wondering a couple of things and was hoping you'll guys on the forum could help. i need to know the fuel to gas ratio for this engine and the spark plug gap??? and any of you'll know what should be done first in getting this old beast to run again. it ran great about seven years ago but was parked ever since.

I am trying to make a new post with no luck. Could someone help me out with how to post a new thread. I have a similar motor at 1960 gale/ johnsonshipmate it runs fine in the barrale but not in the lake. it seams to shake like its missing then dies. It will start right back up if i let it just run its fine i have tried to adjust the low soeed and high speed and it helps a little but not mutch. I have rebuilt or torn down the lower unit replaced the seals and impeller and it shiftes fine if i could keep it running smooth. Im new to boat motors and am unsure what to try next.

Justin, first of all welcome to the site, second, when you want to post a new thread, do not open an already written/active post, all you can do is reply to them.
Go to the Johnson motor section and at the top left hand side you will see"Create New Post" That is what you click and then fill in the title and then fill in the larger area with your questions. Hope this helps.........Irv964
