Re: Mid 50’s Johnson 25HP runs like crap. Advice needed

Yeah you’ve got some impediments still lurking in the carburetor. Its not cleaned out yet.

Is that really all smoke? Looks like mix of smoke/steam. Smoke will hang there and eventually you can’t see anymore, that stuff looks like its dissipating. How much cooling water is it putting out? Almost looks like the water tube grommet is pinched or squished and not enough water getting upstairs, and what does get there comes out as steam instead of just warm water.

Hope it helps.
