Re: Unusual problem on a 5.5hp Johnson 1960

Chris,
I think the float level is correct. When I flip the carb upside down the float is level in the closed position. When I put the new float on it also was level in the closed position. I did adjust the new float to drop down making sure it did not get hung when all the way down.

Steve,
The motor has the thermostat and when the motor is running it is runs at a good temp not to hot and it also warms up quickly. I also have electronic modules in the motor and it runs awesome once its running.

What I do know is when the motor is running no fuel comes out of carb. When the motor is running if I pump the bulb it will make the motor slow down until it burns some fuel then it goes back to running normal. When the motor is cold if I pump the fuel bulb until carb is full then pull the rope the spark plugs get flooded with fuel. I think it may be a leaky needle valve.

Thanks everyone for the help.
Joe
