I have a 1985 40 Hp ELCOB Johnson with what seems to be an overfueling issue, one carb is brand new, the other I just rebuilt a couple weeks ago. I have the engine set up to run in a 55 gallon test tank to put a load on it. Engine starts right up, and seems to turn up rpms, Im having fuel spit slightly out of jets at the top of the carbs ( I realize that this is an issue with the reeds) but when i come back off the throttle it coughs a little and wants to stall. I am also noticing milky fuel accumulating in the throttle body and a good bit of white smoke, might be a little rich or maybe water? I dumped the racor and no water present. I have gone through the float adjustment several times even tweaking float height a good bit out of spec to try and solve flooding issue. I have also tested the primer solenoid by depressing the choke at 2000 rpms and having the rpms drop off. Im pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. Please help!!!!
