Re: Johnson HD-20 Won’t start

Is the fuel leak when you prime it from the low speed venturi ? If the low speed circuit is clean you should see some fuel spray there. For a first run I usually end up spraying a syringe of gas oil mix in the low speed venturi as you’ve done. Normally that’s enough to get a few seconds of run time while I fool with the needle valve. The motor should run on the low speed alone and once I have that working I open the needle on the high speed.
I’m sure others have more experience than I but that sequence has always worked for me and lets me deal with one issue at a time 🙂
