[QUOTE="nomowork, post: 270366, member: 6029"] I had a 48 Special Johnson which I think shares just about the same mechanical components as yours. The gas/oil ratio is probably 50 to 1. I had a hard start condition once and it only started when spraying gas/oil into those tiny air holes in the air box. Even then it varied in performance and would die while running. Over a period of time of trouble shooting and running, things I found that caused my motor problems was a pinched rubber fuel line just under the bottom carb that fed the log manifold from the fuel pump. I also found that the float levels in both carbs were way off. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
