Re: Johnson HD-20 Won’t start

I looked through my photos and I don’t have a pic of the exhaust plate being off. I seem to recall a small brass tube that would direct fuel to the piston on it’s way down, but I might be thinking of another motor. Perhaps Aquasonic will chime in on that topic.

You should be seeing some fuel dripping down the low speed venture if the motor isn’t running if you’re pushing the primer button. At least mine does…it’s open to the air and without the engine running, it won’t suck the fuel in. It’s got to go somewhere.

Initial settings on the needles are about 3/4 turn on the high speed, and about 5/8 turn on the low speed.
