My 97 Force 75 hp is leaking exhaust gasses into the cowl so bad it won't run. I had the powerhead off at the first of the season due to 3 broken bolts that hold it down.
The gasket was swollen out on the backside pretty bad but I tried to use it (in a hurry).
There was one place under there...
I've been having problem this year with my carb (I think). It's a long story but the short version is that my bulb had a hole in it and I ran it 2 weekends without one. No problems other than the motor didn't want to take the throttle from an idle.
I replace the bulb and all hell brakes...
