"THANKS! I have reajusted the float ( correctly this time) and it maintained pressure on the bulb without losing fuel out of the carb. to answer sleeper's question it has two, two barrel carbs and i serviced both of them. after a couple attempts it fired right up and stayed running after manually ajusting the throttle, i guess i have to figure out how to adjust that now. i did purchase a seloc online manual but it was of minor help."

The factory manual is wonderful. You can buy older ones on Ebay. Good luck!

"I need HELP!! I have a 1978 johnson 6 hp and a few weeks ago I was going up river and the motor started loosing power and I eased up off the throttle and it died and I could'nt get it started again. I rebuilt the carb, got new gas, and it still wont start and this black oily stuff is comeing out of the exhaust and the part where the water gets sucked in at. How can I fix it?"
