  • 1983 Johnson 15hp, J15RCTA

    Hi all,

    A bloke gave me the top half of a J15RCTA. It's got a good spark. compression. the cylinders are nice and shiny. It looks like someone was halfway through replacing the fuel line from the pump to the connector for the fuel hose from the tank. iv'e currently got that directed into a bottle of fuel. But i just can't get it to start. Ive only got pretty basic mechanic skills, but everything seems to be there. i've been searching for hours for a copy of the manual or some diagrams or pics of the motor so i can check if anything is missing. I really want to get it fired up so i can get the foot from the wreckers, and finally get out for a fish.

    does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? or maybe some pics of the engine or a PDF of the manual? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    You only have the top half? What does that mean? That comes across as that you only have the powerhead.

    Does the engine fire at all if you squirt a small bit of fuel into the spark plug holes or into the carburetor intake?
