I have a older 40 hp Johnson motor and it was running great. Till one day it started flooding and gas was running out of the carb. The boat would run fine till u let off and the gas would flood it out.Finally found a a new float for the boat because it wasnt working. and Started up the boat.. Boat will run but misses really bad. I went out and got new spark plugs for it and still does it? Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Did you adjust the float properly when you installed it? It may be missing because the float needle valve is now stuck closed, float bowl is not filling and the cylinder is starving for gas.
