Re: Johnson HD 25 carb problems

[burnt-clutch]

I got to thinking that there isn’t much up and down play in the float needle, and then I remembered that I used a Sierra plastic float (part # 18-7208) that I was using on my TN 28 to replace the original float to this carb. I compared the original float to a TN 28 float, and it is noticeably smaller. I’m leaning towards getting some fuel proof dope, strip and reseal the original float and then use it and see what I get. I’ll run some wire or guitar string through the passages in the carb while I have it apart and see if I can find any blockages. I’ll post my results when I get this all done. Thanks for all your replies so far!
