got the 1974 115 merc from friend of mine set up for bout 5 years. had new water pump distibutor and belt put on. rebuilt carbs and fuel pump and new spark plugs. cranks and runs but fuel is pouring out of top 2 carbs and is spraying outa bowl tops, sprays so far it goes in my battery box on my bass boat (the overflow hole i think). ive tried just bout everything and cant find any info about this problem. wont run in gear. basicly its flooding real bad. anyone know what could cause this kinda problem

Either the carbs were not rebuilt properly or you have a bad float(s)
