1984 5.7L OMC Carb issues

[rick001]

I have a 1984 OMC Stringer 5.7L. The engine has a quadrajet carb and the floats are sticking, can I get a rebuild kit at a autoparts place, or do I need to get it at a marine parts place?

I would get the actual kit from BRP
google up:
0983864 OVERHAUL KIT

but, I would also pick up an Edelbrock accelerator pump kit with the red or blue cup (ethanol resistant)- I forget the part number of that but available online or at any auto parts store that sells performance stuff.

Also where ever you get the kit, make sure you use the stronger accelerator pump spring when you put it together. You may have to take the old one apart for the stronger spring. This does make a big difference.
