Re: Johnson Sea Horse 10
I figured it was the Seloc - they left out the step on the core plugs in the carb rebuild instructions. Add this to them:<br /><br />Disassembling:<br />Your new carb kit ought to come with replacement, slightly convex core plugs. Before proceeding, make sure they're they are the same size as as the ones you are about to remove. If all is well, drill a 1/8" hole in the centre of each core plug. Then insert a small screwdriver or nail through the hole, and pry the plug out. It is very important that while drilling and prying, you do not let anything damage the surfaces underneath the plug. So restrict the drill bit from piercing much more than 1/16" beyond the core plug.<br /><br />Assembling:<br />Coat the outside edge of the core plug with a slight amount of fuel proof gasket sealer. (Although this step isn't strictly necessary, I find it helps seal the plug and saves problems down the road.) Now place the plug convex side up atop the boss where the plug rests. Then, using a small drift and hammer, tap the top of the core plug so it expands until it jams tightly against the core plug's socket. Give it one extra tap for good measure.<br /><br />Chances are that the low speed circuit is still blocked and where it's most likely blocked is behind that plug. If you still have the plugs that came in the kit, you won't need a new one.
