    Carbs leaking fuel 1988 force 125hp

    Good morning all, Im currently working on a 1988 force 125 outboard. The carbs have been leaking fuel since the first day I purchased it. So far I’ve purchased the rebuild kit and installed it (gaskets and new needle). I also adjusted the floats. The carbs still leak though. The only problem...
