Re: Johnson 6hp…won’t start

[collectorinspector]

Yes

If it is a new motor to you disregard what it says on the twist grip indicator.

Full choke twist past that indicator and if all is well it WILL start……..they always do. It will start somewhere. The choke will open the butterfly just slightly all by its own linkage on the side of the carb. That is not adjustable.

However

I would suggest looking at the nice little cam under the ignition plate that opens the carb up via a follower

The "sinc between them " should be set……..maybe someone could post how and what marks etc. We do not know what your 6 is yet?

Different model years have differing mark to throttle linkage settings.

If everything else works well……….a good place to look at……….easy.

Just need to know exactly what year model for that setting is all. Marks are obvious.

Then maybe the Start position on the twist grip will line up………..kindof…….
