1985 Johnson 120
Compression: 123/123/130/130
OK I had the plastic carb warpage an then I took the carbs of my donor 1992 120.
They are a different part number but compared the internals of the bowls internals an only part no that is different was the needle/float valve assembly (the needle spring clip an screw)
The donor carbs mounted perfect on my 85 120.
Took the boat out an at WOT is has loss of power for first 7-8 seconds an then boom it smooths out an starts to plane.
I almost thought a plug wire popped off but then it started smoothing out.
So my concern is maybe even tho the needle valves looked like the same size that maybe they actually are not an either causing a fuel restriction at start off or too much fuel?
It does have a hard time starting up as well an have to choke it.
Other thing maybe is the disconnected vro maybe is not blocked off properly? The tank has been removed an I don't not know the history of it except rebuilt carbs, new plugs, newer coil packs, lower unit seal kit an impeller that I just did
Please I'm trying to get this running before my father gets out of the hospital in a couple days as he just had multiple strokes an need him to enjoy some time out on the water.
Thank you all!!!
