89 omc 5.7..... need to know if anyone know the float adjustment? carb was rebuilt and the carb was leaking alot of gas into the motor that was flooding the motor... so i adjust the float and motor runs good but it just bogs down when giving gas...... also when i turn off the motor you can see gas dripping down but not as bad as before... thanks

Sounds like carb was not properly rebuilt.
Rebuild it again it is an easy job on that carb.
There is no blanket adjustment number. It is all based on model,year, engine etc. The adjustment chart comes with the rebuild kit and I am sure you can google it as well.

Re: rochester 2b float

I did not rebuild it I boat it from a boat store.. He has a guy that rebuilds the carbs and then he resells them but problem is he no longer owns the shop.... I have the manual for my omc but it only has a Holley carb for the motor and it also has the rochester carb but it says its for a 3.0 pwc so can I use the specs for that one??
