Re: ’74 4hp Johnson Weedless.

I did check Marine engine, and by the time I factor in shipping and the low Canadian $ I couldn’t justify the cost. It’s a $200.00 motor if I’m lucky to find a buyer, and with the replacement coils and condensers I put in, I’ve already blown the budget allotted. Not that I expect to make money on this hobby, It’s just that I have a kitchen reno to pay for 😥 .

I also considered building up the low spot with a plastic bumper repair that I had used on my wife’s van when I poked a hole in it 😳 , but too cheap to buy more 🙄 .

No, I took the cheap rout and elongated the adjustment hole in the cam with a Dremel. It seems to have improved the low speed Idle. I can almost get as low as 800 rpm now (didn’t check it before). It blows around 90 psi even, and I used the timing fixture to adjust the old points.

With enough money you can fix anything, but where’s the challenge in that…except the acquiring enough money part ?

Thanks for all the help 🙂
