[QUOTE="riverbronzeback, post: 50496, member: 688"] I have an 18hp 1958 johnson. I cleaned and rebuilt the carb. After i reasembled i couldnt get it to start. Shot some starting fluid in and it fired right up. Runs smooth and idles very well. Will start when it is warm but if i wait too long wont start back up. After cranking plugs are wet. So can i assume it is getting enough gas. Maybe weak spark. I know the points need cleaned or replaced probobly. Like i said before idles real good but at WOT it seems like im getting only half throttle. Also my motor has the silencer on the carb, does it matter if it still off. When i look into the carb while running it seems like a lot of gas spraying inside. Oh almost forgot, last time i tried cranking it over i had gas coming out of the choke opening. I guess more than one problem? Im new to working with outboards so please help. Also ran seafoam in the tank today. [/QUOTE]
