Well, after noticing a slight wetness under the cowling of my 2002 Johnson 115HP V4 looper early in the season, the wetness became a steadier leak. I took the lower cowlings off today, and lo and behold, at least 3 of the carbs are leaking from the little BB in the float bowls that BRP used to plug the molds in the plastic bowls. Maybe have a little warped bowl action going on, too.

Maybe have a stuck float or valve, too, as the lower carbs dribble a little gas when tilted up for any length of time.

Anyone want to buy into the pool on the final mechanic's bill to rebuild all 4 carbs at NJ prices? If we get a good response, we can turn this into a 50-50 where half the proceeds go to the member with the closest guess, and half goes to the mechanics's bill?

Just kidding, moderators - I would never encourage an immoral and illegal act of gambling on such a fine site as this!!!
