Float needle

[Poormansboating]

To the best of my knowledge the float is adjusted to spec also.

Well then you’d better check the float batteries-hard to tell from my couch and not being able to touch the carbs but wait for the experts to chime in after they examine the video

Just replaced them with energizers the good ones lol

Try #3 on my list it might help figure it out. You should be able to push up on the float and stop the gas from flowing when you pump the primer bulb. The video is very good. It looks like a float bleeder that's overflowing.

Maybe this video will help

This shows the floats not adjusted right or the needle/seat is bad/ or the wrong one??

The needle/seat: they come 2 ways, one has the solid needle and the seat has a little tiny o-ring, the other has a solid seat with a rubber tipped needle.
Inspect what you have.
The seat on some carbs is removable, some not???

Mine is not removable the needle has a rubber tip. It is the one that was in it when I got it and wasn't leaking. I inspected it all looks ok to the eye. I'm sure it could use a new one but haveing a hard time finding one. I have cleaned it out multiple times and made sure my float is adjusted correct. Guess it's got to be that needle just not sealing properly.

Ok just to update I found a local marine shop that had the float needle. I installed the new needle and it is still doing the same thing. What else could cause this. Does anyone have any ideas

 

[Poormansboating]

When adjustment of the float when I hold the carb upside down the float is parallel with carbs. I've tried even adjusting it up a little thinking that may help. I am at a total lost on what else I can do to fix my issue

 

[Poormansboating]

Also when apart I cleaned the carbs once again

 

[Poormansboating]

I'm starting to think the float is just bad how do I test it besides just letting it float in gas

 

[puffitu]

Swap the float to another carb to see if problem follows

 

[Poormansboating]

Ok will give it a try

Post pic of the faulty float; the one in question

 

[Poormansboating]

Ok well not sure how but I just removed float again and it is full of gas well not full but does have gas in it. That's gotta be my problem

 

[puffitu]

Well…jeezze Louise!

 

[Poormansboating]

I know right all that and I've checked that float 5 times. Still don't see a hole or nothing in it but it definitely has gas in it.

 

[Poormansboating]

Gotta a new (used) float off of a donar engine from a friend and now it's all good to go. No more leaks for now.

 

[puffitu]

Glad to hear it!
