1967 9.5 hr johnson need help please

ok i have cleaned the carb everything seems to be good there no but now everytime i pull it to start it with or without the choke it is spitting fule [-o< out of the over flow i need help please it will fire and dies real fast

Did you turn the carb upside down with the float on to set it?? I should be parallel (or just a little higher than parallel) to the housing (the top part of the bowl) when it is upside down.

How did you set your high and low speed needles? Just off the top of my head, if I remember right, I think the low speed needle should start around one turn open and the high speed about 1 1/2 turns open. Then adjust from there once motor has been running for a bit to get up to operatingin temp. Adjust the high speed (at WOT) needle first, then the low speed(at idle).

i messed with it more today and figured out that the float is bad old cork style and it was saturated and the little screws tat hold it on the top portion of the bowl chamber are rotted out and gone so time to order parts anyone got a good place to order from for a good price ?

No problem. Glad you figured it out. Forgoto to mention about the cork floats - that's one of the first things I replace on the old OMC's when I get one. I have actually had very good luck picking up sierra parts from O'Reilly Auto Parts and NAPA if you have either one close to you. If not, just check a local parts store. I would guess that many of them carry a Sierra catalog. I usually don't have to wait more than a day if they don't already have what I need in the store, so it's the easiest, fastest, and often cheapest method for me. Good luck. BTW, while you are at it, I would really suggest to just go ahead and do the whole carb kit - it's pretty inexpensive and well worth saving the time and trouble of tearing the carb back down again later. If you have problems getting parts locally, I started a thread on a guy I use for a lot of parts and there are also a few online sites I would recommend for carb parts/kits. PM me if you have problems finding them.
