Welcome to the BBC.
I have a couple of questions, Are you sure the choke is closing completely?
Has the motor ever set for any length of time?
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (RUSTY63)
as far as i can tell it is closing completely and as far as setting up I use it year round for duck hunting and running the rivers fishing
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (jwd)
Remove the air horn and make sure the choke is closing completely.
One other thing, have you had the valves adjusted lately?
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (RUSTY63)
it has never had the valves adjusted
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (jwd)
You might want to have them adjusted.
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (RUSTY63)
what are the clearences intake and exhaust hot and cold
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (jwd)
Yep , the valves will make a world of difference!
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (jwd)
I was off on that, the intake is 0.004 and the exhaust is 0.006.
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (RUSTY63)
pulled the air horn off and the choke is not closing at all the spring on the choke is broken how hard is it to replace it
Re: starting problem 1996 johnson 15 hp four stroke (jwd)
It will take some time but how long depends on your ability.
