OK, you guys gave me a lot of pointers before. I had found water in my fuel in which I drained the carbs,the fuel tank and lines. I used ISO Heet to help dissolve any other water issues. I put fresh fuel\oil mix in today along with a new fuel filter and bulb pump. The engine starts up, but I have to keep pushing in on the key to activate the choke to keep it running and the middle and bottom carbs seems to be flooding, i.e. fuel is slowly streaming from these two carbs even while the engine is struggling to run.
One question I have is, if water gets into the carbs, do they have to be rebuilt like on a small engine (lawnmower)? Could this be what the problem is?
I have a 70H.P. Evinrude E70TLCEM, the V.R.O. has been disconnected. The batteries are new. Before the water in the fuel incident, the engine ran fine.
If the carbs need to be rebuilt, where is a good place to go for a rebuild kit?
TIA
