Hello,First POST. Took my boat out today and the engine died. Gas was leaking into the water. Pulled off the cover. On the passenger side of carburator there are two screws above the float bowl. The one on the right has a spring and I'm missing the one on the left were gas is pouring out. Does someone have a SCHEMATIC of the carb? What does this screw do, besides leak gas?Cap, Idle, Air,? A link for this screw? THANXS, any replys appreciated!-BEETS:D

The screw hole is a VENT hole thats next to the Idle screw. Somehow the carb flooded, fuel leaked out and fouled the plugs which killed the motor. I pulled the fuel line at the boat ramp and tried to run it dry to see if that was it. So today I siphoned out the old fuel from last year. Put in fresh gas,Seafoam,spark plugs and an inline fuel filter. Everythings good.
