I have been holding on to this 1953 Johnson outboard motor for a long time. I have recently decided to find it a new home. Being the age that it is, I am assuming that it is classified as "vintage". Problem is that I can't get it started. I have never used it. It was passed down from my grandfather. My father used it and then passed it on to me. It hasn't been started up for maybe 20+ years. It is in good shape. The engine isn't locked up. There is fuel leakage coming from the carborator. I have replaced the spark plugs hoping that it would at least start up...but didn't. Any suggestions on where I might need to start in order to see if it will run will be appreciated. This is my first experience as a boat mechanic so "lingo" could be confusing for me.
