I have a 78 Johnson 115 horse that is spiting and sputtering. The top end was rebuilt a few years ago, but I think the carbs need to be cleaned and rebuilt with one of those kits you can buy. If I touch it, it will never run again. Anyone know someone who can do this for me for a reasonable price?

Call David (aka Spanky's Mobile Boat Repair). He did a carb job on my 1997 Evinrude 115 a little over a year ago and did an excellent job. Much cheaper than the dealers and I was able to watch him at my own home and learn a little bit about how to do it myself next time.

Yup, Spanky can do it.
Jeez , I wish I lived on a lake and was fully retired. I could make a fortune doing nothing but carb jobs for those old OMC engines.
Now, Donald...please pick John Bolton for your running mate.

David did mine, very fair priced and showed me how to do it. I would highly reccomend him.
