I recently picked up a nice clean 1990 Force 15 but am having a heck of time getting it to run. I can't get the float/needle to work properly. I pump the fuel line ball and when the bowl fills fuel starts to squirt out of what I assume is an overflow port on the side of it and the ball will not harden. I have cleaned and cleaned the carb, replaced the inlet needle (the seat is pressed in and not replaceable). The plastic float is not taking on fuel and sinking and the needle appears to be moving in and out of seat properly. What is strange is that with the carb off and using a piece of fuel line to blow into it seems to completely stop the air when upside down but when turned right side up it is VERY hard to get air to flow unlike when I have done this before. I have blow air with a compressor thru the fuel inlet with the carb apart air is flying thru the inlet seat properly. I have ensured to have the strange bowl articulated properly so the deep end is opposite the float pin etc and the float is set to level with the carb rim as it should.
Any ideas? I am at a point of attempting to find a replacement carb but have not had any luck online at ebay etc and most sites list it as NLA.
Anybody have a Force or Gamefisher 15 carb from about 1990 or newer? Model number is 153F90D which I have found means it is a 1990.
Thanks
