I have a 1979 470 3.7 Mercruiser with a Rochester 2 G V carb the engine starts fine cold and hot. I have had the carb apart and set the float to the factory settings along with every thing else. It will idle fine for a while and then it starts loading up with fuel. I have adjusted the idle jets to get the best idle and it still does it, the choke is wide open idle is 900 RP M's. I don't see where a carb kit will help any. Am I over looking something?
