Re: Carbs leak when primer bulb is squeezed on 88 Force 125
Try this:<br />Get your 1st mate to squeeze the primer,while you take a screwdriver handle and gently thump the bowls on the carb..It should stop.If it does, the needle valve is not seating in the carb, and you proly just fixed it..If it doesn't stop,it's time to buy rebuild kits,and remove the needles and clean,and maybee even replace the seats.<br />Caution: Some of the Tillotsen carbs have rubber-tipped needles,so do not soak in carb cleaner..Just use the spray-type, and let dry..Blow some spray thru the ports and orifices,followed by a shot of air (to verify thet are open).<br /><br />One other note, the carbs WILL leak,if the engine is anything but dead-level. If it is tilted-up at all,or trimmed funky, the floats won't float the needle up,and gas all over the place.
