hello, My johnson motor has had lots of trouble lately with accelerating and flooding out.Someone told me it may be a problem with the float or carburator adjustment.I was wondering if there are any other common problems I could have and what should I try first to help remedy the problem before I have to take it in for costly repairs.

Rebuild the carb. Get a kit from your dealer. Take the bowl off the carb and replace the needle valve, seat, and float. Make sure that the high speed jet is perfectly clean. Set float so it is level with the carb when turned upside down.
