150 black max fuel prob

[Bruskyfish]

I posted a couple weeks ago and have tested all suggestions ( spark, compression, ect )
And still the same lack of power issue. I was out messing with it today and realized a descent amount of oil build up under the carb, so I took the cover off and noticed a small puddle of gas on the bottom left carb intake. I started it up and that carb was a steady strong mist at idle and it seems to not change when throttle is raised. All others seem to be normal. This I think would explain why it idles better with motor trimmed up. What is causing this? And is there anything I can do to fix without taking apart carbs? Any help would be appreciated

Re: 150 black max fuel prob

I am not sure I understand your post. Your carb is leaking fuel? If so, you do need to take the carb apart and inspect the float, inlet needle and seat. Replace what is worn and reset float height to spec. You cannot buy new floats for some of those older V6 motors, so be careful with them.
