Howdy, Kerstets.<br /><br />Yes, you can overhaul the carb yourself for very few bucks. Be sure you have a manual. Get the kit at any Johnson-Evinrude dealer.<br /><br />Be sure the all of the tiny passages are clear; I usually run a jewelers drill bit or a strand of wire through them. If you are lucky you can blow them out with air.<br /><br />When you get your kit, get some carb cleaner to soak the parts in before you clean them.<br /><br />If I have overlooked anything some of our OMC-sperts like Joe Reeves or Capt.BlacksMarine will fill you in.<br /><br />Good luck.<br /><br />Oh, BTW. When you add information to a conversation, add it as a reply to the original thread. It is much easier to get the big picture that way.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

Next time you're in the dentist chair getting a root canal, ask him if he can spare a pack of root canal files. Very fine wire stainless tools that work well for probing passageways. You really need to be careful not to enlarge the passageways only to dislodge crud.<br /><br />

Am I right in assuming its the jets? I am getting fuel to the carb and it will fire with starting fluid but wont run but a few seconds. I have fuel in the bowl so I'm sure I'm getting fuel that far anyway

Probably.<br /><br />I just looked at a 25 for a guy the other day and it had a chunk of rubber just above the needle seat. Causing it to only run on the enrichiner circuit.

I know these would not be the same type of carbs you have but you might get some usable info at<br /><br /> http://www.dgweb.com/~bobaloo/Carbclean/CarbClean.htm
