Worked on getting a 1976 Johnson 9.9hp outboard back together. Been sitting in my garage for the last year and a half. Still need to replace the fuel pump cover (cracked) and the rubber gasket underneath (hard) but at least she popped when I put fuel in the throat of the carb. The problem turned out to be corroded coils where the plug wires enter. I think the motor was submerged at one time and water got into the wire at the coil socket at rusted it. Funny thing is the coils measured good and made spark, but not enough to run well. Fingers crossed.
