So pulled the outboard out the other day. Tried to get it running and the carb was overflowing gas all over. Ordered parts for the carb, new fuel pump gasket kit, carb gasket kit, needle and float. Cleaned the carb in a ultrasonic cleaner and reassembled did notice the new needle did kind of stick after cleaning? Reinstalled in the motor, now when it runs it still pours gas all over. No idea what to do now, is the seat bad, is the float height wrong? The seat is a pressed in brass type can it be replaced I didn't see it on any parts fiche. Any help would e much appreciated.
