All,

I'm about to rebuild all six carbs on my 99 Johnson 175. The guy I bought it from installed an electric fuel pump between the water seperator and the motor (which has been removed) and I believe that this has caused some of the seals or gaskets to rupture. After priming the bulb I can see fuel seep very slowly out of one of the carbs (between the float chamber and carb body) and two of the other carbs seem to be wet around the same general area. I felt it would be best to just buy 6 kits (marineengine.com, Carburetor Repair Kit #0438996) and rebuild them all.

My question is, what should I "look out for" or ensure that I do when installing the kits. It looks like a job that I can tackle myself after looking at the motor and viewing the diagram online, but I wanted to seek some advice from you guys.

Thanks,

Lee
