1999 Johnson 225 H.O. Carb Mod#J225HPLEEN
Rusty.....I ran the motor up to temp. and could not hold my hand on the heads for more than 2 seconds........so they appear to be hot enough.
I went to turn out the low speed fuel mixture screw 1 turn like you said.......but there is no spring on the screw....so when I turned them out 1 turn.....they were pretty loose. It was obvious that they would have vibrated out if I left them that way, so I tightened them back down. They were all seated pretty snug when I went to back them out. This was the only screw that looked like an air/fuel mixture screw....and it was on the left side of the carb with a small number "27" stamped on all of them. I did not see any screw on the carbs that had a spring on them.
I did notice small "puddles" of gas/oil at the lip of each carb. if that means anything. Any other ideas on how to get this animal to idle???? Thanks in advance for any assistance!![]()
