Carburetor not working 2006 Johnson 3.5hp

[yeter]

The engine has been sitting in my shed for a couple of years and I guess something is stuck in the carburetor because the engine isn't getting any fuel. Is there something simple to try before taking it to a repair shop or buying a carburetor rebuild kit. I checked to make sure fuel was getting to the carburetor.

Thanks,

Yeter

Does any fuel come out of the carb bowl when you remove the drain screw? It sounds like it is time to overhaul the carb.

Yes. Fuel does come out of the carb bowl when the drain screw is removed

I took it apart, cleaned it, put it back together and ... it runs. Thanks Monte.

Can anyone tell me the factory setting for the Carb. adjustment? How many turns out.
