how do you clean and calibrate carb

[jarod boyd]

I have a 1995 johnson 225 hp venom and I belive that I need to clean out the carb and adjust the carb. The motor dies when giving it gas, so I ask what is the best way to clean out the carb and adjust the mid and high on the carb.

Re: how do you clean and calibrate carb

No offense, just based on the question that you are asking it does not seem like you have a great deal of knowledge about your motor. If it was a 9.9, it is an easy task, but on a 225, the stakes are high if you mess up. Therefore I think it would be money well spent to have a shop do it for you. Or a mechanic who knows what they are doing show you.

Have a great day,

Rob.

First off, see if you can buy the real factory service manual, they're cheap on ebay right now, less than $15.

You have more than one carb, is it 6 or 8 cylinder?
either way theres a lot of them, do one at a time, do it by the book using rebuild kits and run small wire through the jets to make sure they are clear.
Work meticulously, on a clean white cloth so as not to lose tiny parts.
It took me 2-3 hrs to do 6 carbs first time.
