I have a 1985 V-6 engine with an OMC outdrive. I just rebuilt the carb. It now seems that I can not keep enough gas in the boat, I am using way more fuel than I ever had and running the boat less. I do not smell any gas. Is there anything they could of done to the carb that would affect the fuel usage this much? We leave the boat on a lift at the lake, I have been wondering if someone has been stealing it. Any suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks Greg

Re: Fuel Consumption

I'd check the hose's from the tank - maybe a leak in to the bilge and washes out?
