Carb leaking gas from top two holes 1989 85hp

[Poormansboating]

Ok so I'm working on 1989 85hp force. Have other post with work I'm doing on it. Everyone on here has been a great help. Got my carbs cleaned out today installed the fired it up and now has is leaking on my middle carb out of the two hole on the top has one on each side. It leaks even when I'm priming the gas line. It is not a small leak as it is more of a flow of gas. Do y'all think I have something out of adjustment or is something broke. Thank in advanced

Float or float valve needs attention.

I'm about to go take the carbs back off and take a look. Hopefully no can get it fixed.

 

[Poormansboating]

You think maybe the float is not adjusted correct

 

[racerone]

Sorry ----I was not there to inspect your work.---Should be an easy fix.

I just got taken apart the needle has a rubber tip on the end that is not in good shape I think that may be my problem. Gonna order a rebuild kit

Post a pic of the needle next to a ruler.

Carb float out of adjustment, valve tip stuck or worn. Post on how you adjusted the floats; level and drop so we all know where we stand maybe?

Do as Jerry suggests and post pic of inlet needle next to a ruler, he ran or still runs 85’s so he’s you best option. I’m sure the parts are still out there though.

Will do as soon as I get a chance. I ordered one last night I found a kit.

 

[Poormansboating]

I will still take a picture see what yall think.

 

[Poormansboating]

Hope these pics are clear enough.

Its hard to tell if the one I ordered has a rubber tip or not. Some of them do and some don't.

It depends on the inlet which comes with kit if you ordered the kit. Pay close attention to parts you’re yankin out and parts you’re replacing them with. Post pics post pics-good luck

The kit, be real careful when trying to "fix" or install any of these parts.
Some kits have a seat in them and some carbs, the seat won't come out??

 

[jerryjerry05]

I'll look through my stuff today.

I believe your right. It's hard to tell on the picture I posted but the very top of that needle is missing. If I look up in the hole it goes in I see a small piece of orange something I'm guessing thats what it is. I was going to get a small needle or something and try and fish it out once my kit comes in

 

[Poormansboating]

Also don't know if it means anything but the floats are the brass floats.

The tip of the needle is missing and the passages need to be blown out with compressed air and then cleaned and blown out again. New needles are required and you need to make sure that they are the correct type with the "rubber" tip. Often when you order them all steel needles are sent. Those are made to seal with a rubber seat that this carb probably does not have.

The one I ordered shows it has a rubber tip. Atleast in the picture anyways. Hope it's right.
