    champion man carb help please!

    Went to lake Friday night boat would not crank dark with no lights at ramp came back home. Just pulled off cowl and breather and primed the bulb. The bottom 4 carbs are flooding fuel from behind the butterfly. I have no idea where to start on that issue.i adjusted one float after the carb rebuild because it was flooding and the others were not but this isn't coming from the bowl?

    Did you install new O rings behind the carb bodies? When you install them on the carb bodies you need to tighten them in an X pattern also. Did you install the phillips head screws in the carb bodies also.

    Yes and yes. They didn't do it at first after the rebuild. The fuel is coming from the bottom of the carb and from behind the butterfly. Where should I start to fix the issue?

    Also the fuel is coming from behind where the gasket on back of carb is. Looking up into them it's I'd coming from the throttle body and into the carbs when you prime the bulb

    It's fixed.... boy do I feel dumb...... it was that dang manual prime switch flipped to prime and not run. Set to run position, checked and cleaned all high speed jets and and put new plugs in and seems to run like a champ. Thanks for the advice! I guess remember to check all the little things!
