Re: 50 hp johnson no power last night!!
it allows the extra fuel you need when you go real fast. Carbs are pretty simple just take your time. It is best if you can soak them overnight to make sure that any crud or varnish gets softened up so you can blow them out with your air compressor so you are sure they ar clean. If you don't have a compressor then soak them if you can and get a can of carb cleaner and spray each orafice out you can find and make sure that the juice comes out strong on the other end. check your needle valve under the float and make sure that it doesn't have a little ring from scoring on it. this makes them stick once in a while and will show up as the problem that you have now.
