[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 150534, member: 3278"] Looks like the engine is worth saving to me. Try and verify compression for one and second, pull the lower screw in the gearcase and see if it has oil or water in it. If oil thats great. Shopping list would include coils, points, condensors, water pump kit, (all available from an authorized johnson evinrude dealer)and then look for a replacement carburetor. Ebay has lots of parts on it and sometimes just takes a little patience. Also go to AOMCI.org and put an ad in there for a used carburetor. While looking you can start on the repairs and servicing of the engine. The "wire" you took off was a hose. You should see two nipples near the front of the powerhead where it went . [/QUOTE]
