Hi there, I have a 66 9.5 mq12, that has a broken motor mount I think. how hard is this to repair? also I took the motor off the boat and laid it down, now sometimes the float sticks and floods, I took the top off the carb and I had a real hard time getting the float to go down, had to do it 4 times. I just ordered a carb kit, comes with a new float, I hope that fixes it, anyone had this problem?

Re: johnson motor mount

To replace the mount you are going to have to seperate the side covers, can be a real pain to do.
When you overhaul your carb make sure to remove the core plug and clean the passages in there.

If you've never done this before would recommend an OEM Factory Service Manual. They can be a real PITA. After you do a couple of them it gets easy. Been there.
