[QUOTE="perchjerker, post: 410426, member: 20605"] I agree. You may be able to plug that port and possibly even drill out the remaining one to compensate. I have the same setup on my 200 Johnson. I have been told those jets are just too small to begin with. I was having cold start problems and found out that the fix was either drilling them out or pumping the bulb to pressurize the system, hold the key in to prime it, and repeat this 3-4 times so enough fuel got into the engine to make it light up. After doing that it starts a lot better. Maybe you could do something similar if you did have to live without that jet. [/QUOTE]
