I have a 1984 75hp Johnosn Outboard (J75TLCR). I just rebuilt the 3 carbs and used new seal kits. Now, the top carb is leaking fuel from idle to about 2000rpm. It seems to be spraying out of the small holes at the top of the carb barrel which are controlled by the low speed needle. Is this a float problem? I replaced the floats, needles, and seats and have the float adjusted so that the end away from the hinge is about 1/32" higgher than the hinged side. <br /><br />I have Denso W27FS-U10 spark plugs in the motor. Is it a problem that I am not using the recommended champion plugs? The motor is running a little uneven, but I didn't know if that is due to the leaky carb or the plugs.
