need help from the johnson gods
 

have looking for oil leak. went and cleaned everything down with carb clean and blew it dry will air. when starting motor i saw fuel coming out of what looks like a shrader valve with a black cap on the end of it and a red pointer at the base. i think this is were my problem is and it has been washin down over the vor pump. it is leaking at the base were it screws into a black box? question is what is this and how can i fix it? i hope someone can help me with this!!!!! and i hop it cost less than a vor pump. thanks in advance

I think Willy had that problem with his Johnson before he bought his new etec....I'll have to see if I can find the thread.

Here it is if this is what you are talking about.

Yep.. Rw's right on the money. I have the same unit on my Johnson also. I've been told it's used to enrich (choke) the carbs if your solonoid fails. Never had to use it personally.

enrichment valve, they break a lot, after market has the end cap assembly if you can't get to a Johnson dealer
