Re: 2000 200 Merc Carbs Flooding

I would take the drain screw out and see what kind of fluid and trash came out. If clean, running the engine may shake the floats loose. They stick from the oil in the fuel and setting for prolong periods.<br /><br />Seen rest of story other post, I would remove carbuators, clean, check float/needles.
