1998 150hp Johnson

[Bill75]

After sitting for two years, only 83 hours on motor, it failed to start with fresh gas and new battery. Fire at all 6 plugs and gas at all 6 plugs. Thought it was flooded. Removed plugs and turned over motor 3 times for 10 seconds, reinstalled dry clean plugs. Still wouldn't start. With gas and spark, it is supposed to run from my experience.

Anyone with ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Bill

I am going to guess a good carb job is in order.

When stored for the two years was gas run out of carbs and lines? As stated above, maybe carbs need some attention.

Is johnson 150 a ficht motor? You have to index the plugs.

Failure to index (only if Ficht) would not prevent starting/running.

And I thought only Evinrudes had the Ficht technology.
