I sold my 1982 sea ray to a friend and now I am still working on it.<br />Can see fuel dripping in carb at idle and after shut off. Rebuilt carb (automotive kit and float installed), no change. Fuel pressure is 8 psi at idle. My book says it should be 3 psi online it says 4-6.5 psi, I installed an inline pressure regulator (for testing only) and dialed the pressure down to 4 psi, that stopped the dripping but seems lean at idle now(runs fine with choke plate partially closed) pump is only a couple of years old, any thoughts?

Have you tried adjusting the air/fuel mixture screw?
