Hi Dan, thanks for the reply. I carefully cleaned the high speed nozzle including the brass tube and orifice. I also replaced the little plastic tube. New top gasket and bowl gasket. The air box is off a 1985 johnson 6 according to part number. I suspected it from the start but wanted to cover all my bases, I’m growing to hate these plastic topped carbs. I will get a proper air box and hopefully he will have a good motor. We are having some flooding in our river this weekend so no test runs unfortunately. Thank you! Dave
