Hi all,
I have an 1982 V4 115HP Johnson that has been running really well but yesterday it lost power as I was motoring at around 2500rpm it lost power and stalled. I noticed fuel coming out of the bottom carby and a quite a bit dripping from the bottom of the air silencer cover plate. I took it off and the petrol was running from the bottom carby's butterfly chambers and the two smaller brass rods. The carby itself seems ok and the float valve is working fine in the bowl. The primer was going hard and no fuel line leaks but once motor runs it begins to drip fuel from the bottom carby and just stalls. Could it be the reed valves? I posted a couple of pics.
Any help or advice please guys? Thanks
