1971 Johnson 60-Lost Cyl

[chunkytrout]

She's been running rough at low speed lately then all of a sudden, wife and I are running WOT and (no bang or anything) I lose a cylinder and haven't gotten it back yet. Spark is good, compression is good. Only thing i noticed is on the top carb (of three) the fuel line is newer than the rest and where it enters the carb, it looks like it's kinked. Shouldn't that be a 90 fitting as the rest are 90 degree T's?

Hi chunk....yea, should be a molded hose there. If it's kinked to the point that ya' don't think fuel is flowing like it should, what ya' might try is a little longer hose to the top carb so it won't kink. Give that a shot and let us know what happens.
