Greetings, I finished a restoration on a Johnson QD-16 and after a bit of trouble shooting, it runs perfectly. My only minor problem is I have a small fuel leak which seems to originate around the high speed needle. I did install a new carburetor kit with new packings around the needles. The packing nut is tightened down to where I can still move the needle, bu tI do not have much travel left before I will be maxed out. Should I add a third packing washer? This is not a major leak just a minor messy one.
Thanks and thank you for all your advice in helping to save another motor from the melters!!
