Bly Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Sorry to hear about the boat, crossing my fingers for you that it will be a fast and wallet friendly repair. IF you do decide to do some shore fishing, just watch for falling rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry2Rs Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Most of the float bowls I've seen use a neoprene gasket. These sit in a groove and shouldn't wear out. The leaks are generally just a stuck float or a gunky needle valve. The needle valve is attached to the float in the float bowl. If you remove the bowl and lift out the float the needle will come out too. On the end of the needle you will probably find a ring of gunk. Rub off the gunk and reassemble. Your problem may be solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Bring it by this week and I'll fix it up fer ya. If you need any info Glen let me know. The symptoms of a stuck float needle are there. On 4 carb setups there can be some fine adjustments required on reassembly to resync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
