carb or air trouble on a 56 johnson motor

[hi_c50]

my motor starts fine when i take out the Air silencer body and loading
tube and it takes along time to start if the silencer body is on and sometimes dies out. It seems like its not getting enough air. Does anyone know what might be wrong. What can i do....i need help t hanks

Sounds like you got a gummed up carb. When was the last time is was cleaned of all varnish?

agreed either a gummed up carb or a wasp nest in the silencer. run water through the silencer and see.

I agree - sounds like someone from the rodent or insect world found your silencer hospitable...

just check my silencer out today and its clean. I open it and wash it throughly with a water hose but havent try starting it. But the glass under the carb has particles in it. But i just recenlty rebuild my carb! Is my gas tank dirty or is there something im over looking.

Particles are not good - is the tank clean? They're relatively easy to clean as you can remove the top canister assembly and scrub by hand if necessary...

How are the coils in your motor? Have they been replaced?
