Used this idea on my 90hp Johnson with plastic float bowls. Worked great! Used grated drywall sheet sandpaper, took the plastic down in no time. Never thought of this till watching your video. Thanks

Great video I have spent years screwing with my 1993 150 replaced the bowels but did not know the body warped. What a eye opener. I heard that sanding the bowels might help Many Thanks for the steps to get it done

thought about doing this on my 91 90V4 but that pickup tube wouldn't budge and started to flex so I opted to leave it after a little file work and new gaskets. Great video and live the Ros disc stuck to bench!

I've only read about this being done. First video I've seen someone demonstrate this tactic. 👍 The only other thing I could think of to do would be to get your black RTV, lay an 1/8" tall bead on the bowl surface. Let that tack up. Then fasten the two surfaces together but only halfway. Let it set overnight. Then finish fastening to proper torque. That would give a fat gasket that didn't spew out everywhere. This is all hypothetical, and not tested... yet.

This is a great video Seth. My 2005 Johnson 150 is leaking from the bowls and you just gave me a great idea to work on my bowls. Hopefully this helps with my idling and take off after engine warms up. Thanks so much

Thanks Seth! Just ordered the rebuild kit for my 97 Johnson Fast Strike. Noticed one of the bowls was cracked and they looked warped. This video will definitely help. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

Great solution to an expensive problem.......fyi, you can buy cast aluminum bowls for around 35 bucks each (few years ago) which will eliminate the disappearing ridge issue.....Sanding the bodies is the winner, though.

Wow, thanks for this. Trying to keep my old motor from nickel and diming me to death. This will help for sure.

Like he said, they no longer sell them so he had to finger another way to repair them. It's incredible how a part that is common to malfunction can be discontinued. I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything

after sanding down the bowl,will it affect the two brass tubes as in how far down they reach in the bowl? trying to do my91 150 evinrude and that crossed my mind that maybe they would hit bottom of bowl and not pick up fuel

It will not hurt or change anything. You're only sanding off couple of thousands. I ran my engine for 4 years after doing this then bought another engine. Dont be afraid.

Before you sanded them was the warp causing misfire, sneezing at low idle?

No it was just leaking fuel out of the bowls because they were so warped.

Why not use blue TRV? This situation is exactly what that stuff is for...

Do you have any recommendations after doing that? Is that a good method or do you now know of a better method? I have a 225 HO that I need to do the same one.

After doing this I ran the engine for 4 years and never had a problem. Sand then install new gaskets.
