Hello,
We have an 1978, 85HP Chrysler which has gas coming back thru the 3 carbs while running. I took the carbs off... cleaned and adjusted the float bowls...same prob. Someone mentioned that it may be corroded\dirty "Reed" valves (between the intake and head ?) as the motor was submerged once or twice by the previous owner. I would like to know if this is true before I start the labor process.
Thx in advance for your help.
