I have a 80's Mariner 50HP and it is spraying fuel out the front of the carb from a jet when I prime it. When it runs, it pulses out. I had a bad float, replaced it and it stopped. It started spraying fuel again the next day before we headed out and i pulled the bowl off and the 'fuel bowl baffle' fell out. It has a nick in the tab that mounts it so I was going to replace it but they are no longer available. I seen a thread asking if it is needed, but there was never any resolution. Should I figure a better way to fasten it or just set it back in there as best as i can and put the bowl back on? any ideas or tips?

engine serial is 6542231.

Thanks!

Leave it out.---Make sure float valve is clean.----Make sure hoses upstream from float valve are clean.-----Make sure float is in good shape.----Some hollow ones can fill up with fuel.
