1988 Johnson 40
Getting fuel spitting back out the idle air jet. Does it at idle and also at WOT.
Motor doesn’t run well at WOT. Used to get 32mph. Now only 20 and it struggles to get there.
130psi in both cylinders. Less than 3% leak down in each cylinder.
New Carson Reed valves
All new ignition components from under the flywheel to the plugs
Rebuilt both carbs but the bottom one is the one spitting and like I said it’s spitting out the idle jet.
Just took that one apart again and cleaned again, running wire through the orifices. Removed the lead plug again and did the same thing. Lots of carb cleaner.
At what point do you start thinking the carb itself is “bad?”
Thanks
