Johnson 9.5 carb

[Rumley]

Hey guys. My dad helped me rebuild carb on 9.5 johnson. Above the carb, kinda by the needle valve, there’s a hole and gas is coming out. Looked on parts fiche and can’t seem to find anything about it. I will try to add picture. Any info would be great.
thanks

Revisit your carburetor work.----The float / float valve are not working properly !----And who used a gear puller on that flywheel instead of the proper puller with 3 bolts 1/4-NC thread ?

My dad did he bought the wrong puller.
So is that home supposed to be there? But not allow fuel through I’m guessing lol.
are you thinking the float or needle valve isn’t sitting correctly now?

vents are meant to let air in or out as the fuel level rises and fall inside the carb bowl

the float should stop excessive fuel reaching the vent hence, as indicated, the float/inlet needle set up is not set properly


carb and toilet bowl floats work the same way they rise and turn off the entry of excess liquids.. your carb float/inlet needle does not sut-off so it goes out the top vent hole.

should be an easy fix.

Ok thanks. Just wanted to know what that hole was. There’s nothing on diagrams that I’ve seen to indicate that it was a vent.

Since I got the experts here, merc 4.5hp. Changed impeller, not getting as good of water flow as after I changed it. Pulled foot again, impeller is mint. Any ideas?

There is water coming out of it, just not in video. If I put it back together again will take another video

Johnson (leeroysramblings.com)so took carb semi apart. Float seems to be going up and down decent. When I pump the ball on the hose it ends up spitting out there. Going to assume that’s the needle not sitting properly or is that something ejse?

The float and float valve need attention.

The float and float valve need attention.

They were both changed on Saturday. So you think something is sticking? New float, gasket, needle sbd seat and that tiny little spring like thing.

Your carburetor is leaking.-----Up to you to have a look at the float / float valve.
