1959 Johnson 35 Hp

[deezelteck]

Hello everyone,
I have a 1959 Johnson 35 Hp and it runs pretty well. The only problem is when the engine is pulled up in the transport position I get some fuel inside the cowl. Of coarse I have the fuel line disconnected. Usually before I pull the boat out of the water I will disconnect the fuel line and run the engine out of fuel and there is usually no fuel to show up in the cowl. Any information is appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: 1959 Johnson 35 Hp

when there is fuel in the carbs, and the motor tilts, the carbs drain into the cowl. on your motor disconnecting the line does not cause a problem. on multi-carbed motors, they top carb runs out of fuel first, thus gets no lube in the last few strokes. that 35 is a great motor, keep it well maintained, and it will run another 50 years.
