I have a 1974-75 60hp magna11 chrysler motor,Frank helped me out alot much appreciated!!!it seems now that i can prime it (after i cleaned and unstuck the carbs)it will try to turn over...i gave the motor full throttle on the controls and it ran but sounded like it was fouling(plug)and hardly any power at all and it will not idle at all either, does anyone have any ideas on what the heck is going on any suggestions would be great!! I just tried again to start it and it seems to be dumping alot of fuel into the carbs is this because the floats are sticking or the needle valves does anyone have any ideas!!!

Re: Its alive sort of!!

your float is probably not adjusted correctly, remove the fuel bowl, when you push up on the float to close the needle valve, the float should be parallel to the carb body.
