I will start by saying lots of useful info here great forum
I picked up a 84 merc 7.5 knowing the carb needed some work
I got a gasket kit cleaned and rebuilt the carb new needle valve except I did not get a new float
I adjusted the float to where you could barley blow through the needle valve hole with it open put it on pump the ball up gas just over flows took it off adjusted to where it you couldn't blow through it put it back on couldn't get fuel in the carb take it off tweek the float level some more get it started it would run for a sec then pump fuel out of the main jet like the needle wasn't closing I have messed with the carb for hours back and forth must have taken the carb off and back on 20 times had it running great idle and everything but gas would still leak out the front of the carb so I put a new needle valve in still way to much gas or none I have tried everything and don't know what to do several guys I have talked to have never came across this shy of getting a different carb not sure what to do
