Running on muffs

[GNYODER]

Good evening all,
I have a 1997 Force 120 on my Bayliner and I recently replaced the needle valves and the seals on both bowls. I got a set of square muffs to test it out and sync the carbs up to get ready to head out tomorrow but when I put the muffs on the lower end......no water. I shut down immediately. Am I doing something wrong here. I have great water flow at the lake and the impeller was installed this Feb. Any suggestions. I feel like a real dip S^&t asking such a simple question but I can't explain it. TIA.

I the same issue I couldn't get the muffs to seal on the leg good. Is there a fair bit of excess water coming out around the muffs? If so with mine I used a "C" clamp to tighten the muffs in place and that solved my issues.

Cool. I will give that a try. There is a LOT of water squirting out around the cups. The metal spring bar on the muffs seems to be tight, but maybe not tight enough. Thanks for the tip and let you know how it turns out.
