    Straightening bottom motor cover

    Straightening bottom motor cover

    Hi all. Just purchased my first boat, an '81 14ft Gregor with a 25hp Johnson and 7.5hp Chrysler kicker. The motors do run but the Johnson will not idle and fouls the plugs within a few hours. I have no idea how old the motor is but was told mid '70s. Can anyone point me in the right...
