Does anyone have any experience with major work performed at Jacobsen's Marine in Seattle? Thinking of taking my '85 90HP 3 cyl. in for a carb rebuild and timing. Any other recommendations?

DaveS,

Nice link...

I have taken off the carbs on a 70 hp Johnson. The hardest thing is getting them off. Just takes time.

On one of the carburetors, the gasket was rotting and falling into the bowl area and clogging up the high speed jet. After blowing out the jets like the video shows and making sure everything was clean, I put on a new gasket and put everything back together.... Worked like a champ...
