Hello and thanks to everyone who helped me change my exhaust gaskets and carb, after several months its finally done.
I have a problem --- it has a hard time starting. My model of outboard is 507X9B and i changed all my fuel lines out and in and on the carb i changed the 2 small gaskets that go on the screw holding the bowl and inside the bowl as well as the round bowl gasket, i checked the needle and its not horrible "HOWEVER" i adjusted the float, upside down with my measuring tape it measures 3/16 form carb body to top of float and as it opens and hangs it measures now 5/16 ( it was 8/16 as i found it). i never had such a hard time starting it. i got a brand new gallon of fresh premium gas and mixed super well with 3 ounces of oil for a 50:1 mix. - when i was putting the power head back into the plate and onto the cowling i did add some seafoam (not the spray) to the opening underneath the head where i think the piston is. So can anyone tell me what ive done wrong now??????
