Re: Johnson 5.5 carb issue

[archangel]

To my great embarrassment, I had installed the spring clip on the float needle upside down. It was the only thing I didn’t think to change in all of the on-and-off, apart-together with the carb. The motor runs like a top from the first pull. I don’t think it will even require much carb dialing-in. Not the first time I have made myself look stupid and I know that it won’t be the last. I hope that someone else can resolve the same issue quickly for themselves now that I have documented my stupidity. 😳

To answer your last questions, Chris, it is a new float that came with a completely new BRP rebuild kit and was installed the correct way except in the one instance I noted above where I doubted myself and flipped it over.

Thank you all for your suggestions. 😀
