1983 115 hp Johnson

I have a fuel issue with this motor. I've tried to ad a picture to this post but I am not for certain that I have done it correctly. Facing the motor to the left of the carbs and at the top of the carbs is a pump (I'm assuming that's what it is) that gas is running through. It has a knob on the top of it that will idle up the motor if turned. That face plate is cracked and leaking gas. I'm having trouble with the motor idling and I think this is my problem. Anybody know what this part is called? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

The part that's leaking is the part in the picture with the red plastic piece on it. Forgive me for my ignorance, but I have no idea what to call it.

That's your primer solenoid cover and gasket that you are referring to. They're usually 10-
15 dollars for the parts and take just a couple minutes to swap out.

Thanks so much!!

I have another question about this motor. I thought I would ask here instead of creating another thread. Where should the water come out of this motor to determine that the water pump is working? I'm not finding water coming out anywhere.

It should have a mist of water coming out of the two exhaust holes on rear of housing just below bottom half of engine cover. Only when the thermostats open up. These older motors did not have a pee tube on them.

don't know about that one cray, but I have an 85HP '77 Johnson and an '80 100hp 'rude and both of them have a pee hole. it's on the left side of the bottom cowl near the back. that's looking at it from the rear.

I had a 81 115 Johnson I ran for years and it did not have a pee hole on it. Never really even thought about it until PicWic posted this. Maybe mine was there and never worked my 1975 stinger 75 Johnson did not have one either.

Your right cray. This motor doesn't have a pee hole. There is a mist coming out of the exhaust holes. Also hooked up to muffs, there are three small holes at the foot that water comes out of.

Thanks for the replies I really appreciate it. Trying to learn this new motor!!
