carb cleaning

[Javelin 353]

I am going to get a manual Sunday for my 91 70 hp johnson. Can the average "Joe" pull off the carbs on this motor. Boat runs great 2000-5000rpm range but does poorly on slow rpm. Also do you need any special tools for the carbs. Boat has been sitting about 8 months compression good, all cylinders firing, new fuel pump???

Jay I don't know about the 91 but I have did 6 or 7 on various years and h/p's and had no problem doing them.<br /> you will need that manuel though for float settings. Go get you a gal of carb cleaner and let those things soak. I did find out that was the best way and will be money well spent.<br /> when you get thru soaking them blow them out with some compressed air and reassemble according to manuel and you should be ready to go.<br /> BTW go to top of page and do a search on carb rebuild or cleaning and you will find a wealth of info in there.
