Hello to all, I'm new here and don't known my way around very well. I tried to do a search but didn't get very far.
Could someone please tell me what the fuel pressure should be n a 1970 20 HP Johnson. I jus overhauled the carb. and installed a new needle and seat. I'm getting 3lbs of pressure from the pump but none in the float bowl. It looks like the needle valve doesn't open enough to let the fuel in at 3lbs. because it barely moves when you move it by hand . Any help would be appreciated. :confused:
 
Round 2 went better than round 1 for me. After my post I went back to the problem and disassembled the carb. I found that I had the float installed up side down. I reversed it and she started right up. I thank you for your suggestions. All smiles again.
