Quick carb question

[keitht]

Don or whoever else may want to shed some advice to me to make a quick story out of this I recently removed all three of my carburetors and re-built them.. After I put them back on the boat two of them seem fine but one of them leeks fuel. If you look at the picture you will see where it leaks.. I am going to remove that carb again this weekend however I was wanting to know if someone could tell me what may be causing this so that I do not waste my time and end up having to do this again.. Thank you in advance.

Had the same problem...ended up having to replace the float. Pretty inexpensice; not sure why it doesn't come with the carb rebuild kit. Make sure there is nothing on the pin that is not letting it level out.

Thank you very much.. I will check it out.. I figured that maybe I did not get the pin set correctly..

Definitely a needle, seat, or float problem.

Look VERY carefully at the surface of the float where the needle contacts it. If there's a dimple or groove present: REPLACE THE FLOAT.
