Hello I recently aquired this motor on a runabout with key starting on the dash and manual choke. I have spark, fuel, but she still wont run. Went to FAQ and tried everything except i need some help with a possible flooding issue. Rebuilt the carb and replaced float needle but was unable to remove the seat, the old needle looked great. Should I have replaced this part? Are they a matched set? Help needed. Thanks.

Re: 40EL 73D Remote Starting but wont

if you purchased the kit for the bowls and needles then you do have to change the seat.. I recently did mine and found that the seats looked great as well as the needles but..the bore size on the seat was larger on my old one.. and my old one had rubber ends on the needles and not solid metal..

so...if you have the newer needle..it may not be shutting off your gas supply..??..possibly...
