Re: Johnson 5.5 carb issue

[archangel]

I have the high speed set at 1 turn from seated and the low speed at 1.5 from seated.

Actually, the carb does belch fuel when I pump the primer bulb. At the risk of sounding really dim-witted, I tried turning the float over in one of the iterations I have tried since this morning and the carb doesn’t belch fuel when the primer bulb is squeezed with the float that way and the motor starts and clearly runs out of fuel in that configuration. What does the fuel coming from the carb air horn when the primer is squeezed suggest to you?
