Leaky carb gasket on 115hp inline 6

[coz]

This screw drips fuel on all 3 carbs. I tried new gasket kits but they still leak. Any suggestions on a better gasket material?

Sure, to stop the flooding replace the floats, inlet needles and seats and adjust float height. Gaskets are not designed to keep carbs from leaking when they flood.

Floats and needles are fine. That screw is at the bottom of the carb and is always below the fuel level in the bowl

Yes, I misread your post. Gaskets are all you have to fight that leak. They should do the trick.

Use genuine Mercury gaskets.
