Reply To: 1952 Johnson QD-12 Carb

I’d say it’s a significant amount. Probably about 1/4 of the bowl or so spills out of the carb immediately after I shut down the motor. Like you said, I’ve been opening the gas cap to relieve the pressure, but by that time it’s already spilled out everywhere.

I took the carb apart to clean it when I was going through the motor. The float seemed like it barely moved the needle when I was checking it. What I mean is that it seemed like a lot less throw than I’m used to seeing. I’m not familiar with this style carb. Is the throw an abnormally tiny amount on this style?

Thanks for the reply!
