What is the spark plug gap for a 150 hp johnson outboard?

There is no gap as they use the flat plug that does not have an adjustable ground electrode. If it is older 35 thousandths will do the trick

How do you fix rewind on Johnson seahorse 4hp

Usually, replace the recoil spring. You also, may be able to increase the wrap tension by: 1) pull spark plug (easier to manipulate spinning the motor) 2) wrap the extra loop of rope around the start pulley gear. sometimes there is a bracket, etc. to work around

'96 Johnson 175 won't trim down while in gear but trims down in neutral. Also hesitates and shakes the boat when trimming down while the engine is not running.

Sounds like you need marine grease in the bracket.. Should be like 6 or 7 grease ******* around there. They need regular greasing

Just bought a 73 Johnson 115 that's been stored for two years wondering what kind of Preventive maintenance should I be worried about before taking it out on the lake?

Change lower unit lube, use fresh gas mixture with added Seafoam. Run as before, but longer. You can download manual from the web. Has P.M. instructions.
