Re: 50hp Force Carb issue - flooding
Your float may be set too low also, had same problem with 90 model 50hp I bought in feb. with carb upside down there should be no more than a 1/2" of movement of the float. Dissasemble carbs and clean every port with wd -40 use the straw to get good pressure spray, then bend the little brass tab up untill you have 1/2" of up and down movement reassemble run engine half throtle if no spray go WOT if fuel starts coming out of hole in side, remove crab and bend tab a little more. you may have to do this two or three times you get adjusted to where theres no fuel coming out of the hole at WOT, dosen't take but 15 min. or so to remove and reassemble, also it much easier if you diassemble shift link as it makes the nut on that side difficult to get to. so carry approate tools with you, 9/16 or #14 & 1/2" or #13 metric wrench open /box end work best and the narrower the legs on the open end the better, screw driver, plug socket & extra set of plugs, 8 or 10" cresent wrench and channel locks as well as extra shear pins & cotter pins for prop, are standard equipment on a boat.
