Good morning everyone.
Of course when I purchased this boat for the price, I knew it was too good to be true, and figured I'd be putting some work into it. Here's my prob:
The engine turns over, but shortly after cuts out because tons of gas floods it. When I try to tighten the ball, it just makes more gas flow out of the top carb. If I disconnect the fuel line, the engine runs great until of course the gas runs out!
I think I may have a stuck needle valve but not sure how to get to it. I hope its not another major problem that I'm not thinking of.
I dont have the manual yet (on order) but before I go tearing this motor apart, is there any tricks to getting this gas from ceasing? I hope someone on here has run into this before and has some insight. Thanks
