    2003 Johnson 175 Carbs

    I am doing the carbs on a 2003 Johnson 175. (J175PXST) It's easy so far except theres a white nylon washer that goes under the needle valve seat. The carbs didn't have this washer before. Should I put it on or leave it out? Maybe it goes with a different carb....

    1985 Johnson 90 VRO Won't stay running...
