Diagnosing Johnson 9.5 fuel and spark issue/First start in 25+ years

I was able to pick up a 9.5 motor that didn't run for my 12ft john boat. The motor had no spark on the top cylinder and wasn't getting fuel through the carburetor. I replaced the coils and cleaned the carburetor enough to finally get it to start and run on its own power. #boat #fishing #outboards #johnson #summer #lake #fish #diy #rookie

Cracked coils seem pretty standard on these old motors. My Johnson Seahorse 3 HP also has cracked coils.
Your motor and my Evinrude 9 1/2 HP Twin Sport are the same construction. The coils were changed in mine before I got it. I love this engine as they're almost indestructible when taken care of.
