  • How to start 1972 4hp seahorse?

    Hi I'm new to this forum. I just received a 1972 4hp Johnson weedless seahorse outboard. The guy I got it from started it quickly with 2 pulls and some messing around with the choke, slow knob and fast knob. Yesterday I hooked it up myself to fuel and it took me forever to get her started. Same again today after I changed impeller, plugs, and lower unit oil. I can get the motor to run but when I start adjusting the knobs I end up accidentally killing it again and I'm back to figuring out where to start the knobs. Is there anyone that can tell me where these knobs need to be for start? And how to put them in a neutral position? Any info would be great!
