Hi, Got everything else worked out on my motor, now I am down to the carb being the only problem. Now, when it runs, it floods itself, runs too rich, and floods itself to a halt. I have taken the carb down twice with entirely new kits each time, float and all. I am beginning to think this is not even the right carb on this motor. It has 0398098 stamped on top.
I had read somewhere in the forum that there was a parts dealer that let a guy try a different carb and then if it worked would charge him.
I bought this motor like this and have never been able to get it to run right. Tried everything on this forum, secret files, carb adjust, everything is correct, spark, compression, etc. I had also heard on the forum, that the Belgium made motors had problems with the carbs? I would really like to try a different carb on this motor, but I am sure of what I should be looking for. 1985 20 hp BE20BFCOS. It is a derated 20hp. Maybe a PO put this carb on it? Is this motor really a 25hp? Since it is Belgium made, there are no reference part numbers for this motor on ********** or marineengine.com Where would I start to find a different carb?
