[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 4854807, member: 18110"] I thought of a couple other things to try. I went through the same issues with a '72 Johnson 20hp. If you rebuilt the carb, did you adjust the float level? Also, when I rebuilt the carb on mine, the kit came with a plastic float pivot pin. After one tank of ethanol gas, it didn't run for crap. The ethanol caused the plastic pin to swell and stopped the float from moving. I made a new pin from a piece of metal coat hanger. Has worked great since. As I said, mine was doing the same thing, but I just can't remember exactly what it was. I'll keep thinking. [/QUOTE]
