Now that the carbs on my motor are clean I still have trouble starting the engine. It will run for about 5 sec then cut off. This will repeat it self about 5 to 6 times before the engine will keep running. Reeldutch said to me something about my tstats remaining open.. What are tstats ???<br />Reeldutch are you still online ?? HELP

Re: johnson 90hp v4

What year or model number is your engine, Kevin?<br /><br />Imperfect carb cleaning causes many problems, but I think your engine is running out of fuel or it needs additional priming/choking. <br /><br />You may have a failing fuel pump, too.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

How are you cleaning them? Anything less than pulling them and soaking them, is not 100%.

I got myself a carb cleaner. This is a spraycan under very high pressure. I put the nozzel on all the injecters and pump them clean. Is this enough or should i do this with compressed air

When cleaning carbs you need to thoroughly blow them out with high pressure air from an air compressor. The spray can does not cut it.
