Hi, Rob.<br /><br />Welcome to iboats. <br /><br />This is the wrong forum for your question. You want the Johnson and Evinrude outboard troubles and repair Forum.<br /><br />I will move this there for you. Lots of help there.

Re: ?

did u remove the carb soak it overnight, blow out all the ventricals w/ compressed air, run a small wire thru the high speed ventrical to make sure it was clear? have you check all your hoses for leaks? is you primer bulb arrow pointing toward the engine? have you check spark, compression,? what are the comdition of you coils, cracked , leaking? post model # on transom bracket, just a few questions for starters. welcome to i boats. i'm running a'55 and a '73 rude.

No i didnt soak the carbs overnight but i did clean out all the crevaces and ventricals. i also put new hoses on and cleaned the points real good the compression was within a couple pounds of normal on one and perfect on the other. thanks for your reply i really can use the help.season is coming up quick.

Re: ?

The crud that needs to get cleaned out is in the small internal passages and jets. Surface cleaning will not do it. You need to go back through them and install new carb kits.
