Hello, <br /><br />I just purchased a Johnson Colt. It doesn't seem to be getting fuel into the carburetor. I put in a new filter, and the fuel line is clear through to where it connects to the carburetor. I open the fuel vent, but the fuel doesn't want to flow from the tank through the line and filter and finally into the carburetor. I even unscrewed the low speed needle valve completely to see if that would let any fuel in, but still no flow.<br /><br />I then unscrewed the bottom of the carburetor from the rest and cleaned out where the low speed needle valve screws into the carburetor.<br /><br />Does anyone have an idea what is stopping the fuel from reaching the carburetor?<br /><br />By the way, I poured a little fuel directly into the cylinder, and it ran for the brief time that the fuel there lasted so there doesn't seem to be any problem with the electrical system.<br /><br />Thanks for your assistance,<br />Colby
