Re: TN 28 – wet plugs

[cajuncook1]

Karl, I’m going to provide a series of you tube videos for you to watch. Yes, they are long and over detailed, but should help rule out some common issues. If, after all is said and done and your ignition is up to snuff, then you can focus on your carburetor.

Not professional videos, but they can help guide you through ignition diagnostics and repair. The motor in the video is a 1968 Johnson 6hp. Your TN28 has the common OMC magneto plate so a lot applies.

Hopefully will give you a visual and help you some.

What compression numbers did you get with the replacement power head???

If you recoated your carburetor float, it may be a bit heavy or not buoyant enough allow the needle to seal well enough to prevent slight flooding effect.

Here is a link to a website that well guide through the carburetor cleaning and proper settings.
