    Take the bowls off and sand em even with a fine grade sandpaper on a good flat surface/. Check the gaskets and bolt em back on and go fish!!!

    Be sure you clean the bowls along with the main jet before you reinstall them.

    Also, look at the brass looking plug in the outside bottom of the bowl.
