Re: Johnson K50 weird shear pin diameter? Crash Video!

[mondobug]

I thought of another K50 question. Does anyone think that the Sierra # 18-7208 foam carb float would work for it?
Here’s the issue. The cork float is loose on the pin – the clip holds but the hole in the cork is big.
The float valve seems late to seat with fuel coming out of the top hole like you tickled it just by opening the petcock.
The motor floods easily so I usually start it cold with no tickle, no choke and 6-8 pulls.
Warm start – or even if I come back hours later is OK – is just 1 or 2 pulls.
I’m not inclined to make a new cork float or fix this one – just put it with other original parts in case I ever want to return it to original as it looks good.
