Johnson 150 running issues

[jasoncooperpcola]

Found out i had low voltage on two plug wires, had carbs cleaned, a few electrical gremlins with the ignition, and the shaft mounts and steering shaft are shot. Motor had 92-94psi compression on all but one cylinder which had 82. If nothing else breaks when trying to repair it, it would cost over $1000 just for parts.

So i am having another motor installed this coming week, a 1986 Yamaha 150 25" shaft. I will build a jack plate, out of some 4x4 1/4" wall square steel tubing i have, so it will work on my 20" transom. Now i just need a remote control.
