ok...I wanted to put some deep creep in my carbs to leave it overnight and clean them good. I removed the plug screw on the lower end of the carb(float bowl). This is the screw that , I guess, holds the high speed orifice in? So I let the gas pour out. I take my deep creep and shoot it into the carb(main body whole were the fuel comes out) with the plastic extension so I can get it into the body of the carb. It works cause I see the liquid slowly come out where I removed the plug screw. I tried to put the screw back on it , but it looks like it's hitting the orifice. I noticed the screw had an "L" type tip ( machined that way). Is the orifice supposed to seat/mate/touch into that plug screw? Does that mean I have to remove the orifice far enough to touch it to the screw as I tighten it? I tried to screw the plug screw back on, by hand, but it felt like it was hitting something and I wasn't about to put pressure on it. I only did this on one carb. I wasn't about to continue with it until I get the first one to close correctly.<br />It's a 2001 johnson 150 v6 carb'd. :confused:

Ok...I think I may have figured it out. Sorry but it was dark outside and I had problems seeing abit. From reading the manual...it looks like the high speed orifice is threaded in there with a special tool ,so the plug screw shouldn't be tounching it? Upon looking at the screw a little closer...it looks like it had lock tight on it and that was what was making it tight , to go back in. I guess I answered my own question.

The 'special tool' is just a screwdriver just narrow enough that it doesn't drag the threads as you go after the orifice. And yes, the orifice seats snugly all the way in.<br /><br />The drain plug has that notch cut in it so the orofice can't vibrate out and sit flush against a flat surface. Helps keep from blowing a motor due to fuel restriction.<br /><br />Put the drain plug back in and fill the bowl through the tube in the bottom of the throat of the carb.....

THX buddy. Let me ask you something. Is it worth removing the orifice to shoot the other side of the orifice? Or no gas goes through there? It just stops flush?

You are not going to accomplice much cleaning a carb that way. You may well create a problem doing that. It is best to take the carb apart, and install a new kit.
