I took the carbs off because the ctr carb float was sticking and dumping fuel at a rate faster than I could buy it. Carbs had a little jelly but cleaned easy enough. Put them back on and it ran bad. lots of misses... I adjusted the idle mix to about 1-1/4 turns out and it seemed to do better. Then the bottom carb started dumping fuel. Do the float go bad and cause that of am i just a idiot?

Re: 1400 merc carbs ARE KILLIN' ME!

sounds like i am. but im in a hurry as usual. I also took the cap off and cleaned it with a wire brush then check for spark at all 6. all good there but seem like 3&4 weren't firing. Compression is 110 top to bottom. any ideas please i'm ready to do something stupid here. Don't know what but something.
