Help me out guys!!!
(1990 Mariner 60 hp.)

When the motor is off no gas drips at all but turn it on and give it a small rev then then alot of gas starts coming out everywhere around the carb even in choke gas starts to drip...... Is this the reason my my motor stalls? because its flooded with gas? Why sometims it doesnt want to start?
Ive been doing alot of research and it seems as if people are saying its my floats and needle?How do i fix this? I took everything off to do a carb cleanup but put everything back together jus how it was.... Is there a way to align this?

Likely your float is stuck open, or the float height is improperly set. This prevents the needle from closing the fuel inlet. The bowl fills with gas and begins to pour out. Fixing it requires a thoroughly cleaned bowl (no sticky stuff) and a properly set float height. You manual should have the proper settings.

thanks for the quick reply Jake....
I can clean the bowl again with no problem but do you know how to set the float height? I do not have a manual so i am unsure of this....

Thanks again.

check out the FAQs section. There is a post in there about online manuals. I believe yours is one of the manuals available.
