1968 Johnson JH-23M high speed nozzle #312971

[ludewig]

Hello,
i am searching for a new high speed nozzle for my Johnson 1968 JH-23M with part number 312971.

While cleaning and disassembling the carburetor, it was hard to unscrew and i damaged the screw head
but managed to get it out with pliers.

I've searched every online shop i know, but nobody seems to have this part in stock.
If i could, i would reuse the damaged part, but i don't know if that is possible.

Do you have any advices on how to get this part or what to do
There's a picture of the nozzle in the attachment.

Thanks in advance
Ludwig

Hi,
thanks for your nice reply. I tried every shop in the salvage yards list, but just one could provide me with the nozzle.
Seems these parts are pretty rare if you do not want to buy a complete carburetor assembly.
Hope this part is arriving soon in Germany

They usually get damaged from using the improper tool. There is a special tool to remove it. Soaking it in penetrating oil before hand helps too.
