Not all hero’s wear capes! Thanks T Mike!

[@EthantheIncredible]

You are the reason why I can work on my own motor. Keep up the good work

[@georgekeats1478]

Thank u for posting this video. My float setup is different, but now I'm certain it's a float issue👍

Always terrific ~ Thanks!

Thanks again T Mike

Hey T-Mike, thx for great videos. They are truly enjoyable. Do you have a tips on how to remove a stuck impeller housing on an '65 Evinrude 3hp? It has been running in seawater.

[@michaeljsimon]

Try spraying carb cleaner on it.

[@aziggy1039]

@@michaeljsimon Thanks, will do

[@leepatton1180]

Thanks for the video I've had similar problems with motors that run fine in the tank put it on the boat and it won't start I tell you that will make a preacher cuss

[@lonnieadams7841]

How do you adjust the float with the plastic tab if it's not level? I know you can bend the metal ones slightly.

[@michaeljsimon]

@@lonnieadams7841 yes Bend with needle nose.

[@lonnieadams7841]

@@michaeljsimon I didn't think the plastic would be able to retain the bend as well as the metal would. Just seemed like an inferior product and method.

[@Bobbybbops]

Hi Mike. Is your highspeed jet inside the float tightened down all the way? Does that need to be adjusted half turn out like the lowspeed jet or does that highspeed just get tightened down. Working on a 4hp. 84.

Hey, what carburetor is compatible with the 7.5 Ted Williams?Is there another carburetor I can put on that

[@boatbuilder1954]

Cool trick, Also I took apart my 2 HP Evinrude Motor Carburetor and everything appears clean but I do not know where to start adjusting my low and high speed jets. I started with 1 turn out on both and went up to 3 turns out and it will only run with throttle on high and yet only seems to be at idle rpm? Any thoughts Thanks

[@michaeljsimon]

Sounds like running on one cylinder. Check spark

[@boatbuilder1954]

@@michaeljsimon 2 HP only has one cylinder and it has good spark

[@joerudy5180]

How much fuel will come out if the carb. I have a 97 175 merc. The top carb >s pouring GA out if it when it runs. Then stalls out. Would it be a stuck float. Or a Reed issue

[@michaeljsimon]

Stuck float issue

[@SkinE-Vadee-Veechee]

So you shouldn't have any gas coming out of the float bowl gasket?

[@michaeljsimon]

No

[@yungskeet]

Thank you sir!!!!

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

The TD-20 Johnson carb is a bad design for sure compared to the newer carbs like your son worked on. Just watch the guy with the sledgehammer Johnson video with one of these carbs. He finally figured out the float pin was getting caught on the lid hole. It doesn't take much for these to leak

[@lawnboy46]

Any T Mike trick for unsticking float valve without taking carb off? Tried tapping already. PS great content!

[@michaeljsimon]

Sorry. No

[@michaelsimon5877]

I have a mercury 20 horse 4 stroke and wen I start it up I notice gas on the water and wen I give it throttle to go faster it will die out on me . But it idles just fine starts good and as long as I'm going slow I have no problems. Could that be a dirty carb or sticking float . Like it's getting to much gas I don't know but I'm glad I stumbled on you channel.. so I had to sub up thank for your time

[@michaeljsimon]

You have clogged jets in carb that need cleaning.

[@michaelsimon5877]

@@michaeljsimon thank you sir for you help

[@michaelsimon5877]

I also got a new bulb and hoses to rule that out

[@michaeljsimon]

Clogged high speed jets or bad fuel pump.
