hi i just purchased a johnson5 hp and the guy i bought it from said he thought the float was bad and he had the carb apart al ready. i got it home and put it all back together after a hour or so cus ive never worked on a boat motor lol. but once i thought i had it noticed the plug wires were loose. finally figured out how those went back on cus there not like car wires i got it to run for about 5 sec befor it died.now the carb seemed to be leaking at the prime and there seemed to be a leak in one of the lines below the plugs not sure what it is. and the wires are not verry snug on the pluggs could that be one of the problems on why its not running? the float looks kinda yucky its cork. now questions lol
1. how can i fix leak at primer?
2. can i replace plug wires? like with a boot wire on a car or lawn mower
3. should i replace float?
4. how should float be installed? still not sure i got it correct
