1994 johnson 115 hp warped carb bowls.

[JoshKeller]

1994 xflow 115/80 jet has leaking carb bowls - new gaskets, the bowls are slightly warped up in the center. looks like they are no longer available and ill need to find a used set. in the mean time, can i tape sandpaper to glass and sand them smooth to get me through until i locate a set? thanks guys.

Yes.

Worked for me. 150 gt cross flow. Too cheap to buy new parts!

[phillnjack]

yes just sand them flat, if it dont work just cast some of your own in either Aluminium or a grp composite.
so many people have had the same problem with these poorly made things.
somewhere on YouTube a fella gas made about 4 of them for people in alloy, no more problems once made of alloy.

Get some used cheap ass carbs on ebay that have alum bowls and good for life.But be sure the carbs have the mid range jet in the bowls and not in the carb bodies.

Why? '94 should be type III (jet in carb throat). Regardless, I believe type II bowls will work for him. He'll just have an extra screw/plug above the drains?

[71V153]

Type II on left.

Yep sorry your right.

Actually the early 70s had the mid range jets in the carb bodies.Anyway all 3 will work,v-4 -v6 bowls.

Problem with the plastic bowls is if'n ya torque em to spec. They just don't feel tight enough. So everybody, myself included, over-torques em. And then they warp...
