Re: 40hp Johnson 1963 Carb Question

[twsnagel]

It’s alive! Through the generosity of a member, I was able to get a new carb. Bolted it on last night, and it fired right up. Thank you so much, fleetwin, and everyone else for the help.

Damn redneck fixes. Who would have run a drill bit through a jet? And broken off the screwdriver slots? Unbelievable. It’s amazing it ran at all.

Still have a big to-do list left:
– Find a new idle stop screw and spring (discontinued)
– Get the new cables and controls working
– Get a proper gasket in the gear case
– Some work on the hull
– Adjust the idle etc.

But she’s on her way now. Thanks again everyone!
