85hp Force Gas gushing out top carb

[riptorn]

Yep, just finish fixing the trim tilt motor and now I took the boat out for a 20 minute run(full throttle), coming in back to the shore idling down it stalls. I try to start and just won't stay running. Gas pouring out into the lake. I took it out of the water (shallow shore) and run with the muffs , Gas is just pouring out of the top carb bowl and spitting out all over.
Before the season I cleaned the fuel filter and added a fuel filter and made sure I got all the debris out. I just don't get it with these motors. Something has jamb the float open or is it something else?

Could be dirt??
It's easy to take them apart and clean.
Top post is a post from FrankA Follow it when reinstalling.
It only takes a piece of dirt the size of a pin point to cause the needle/seat to malfunction.

Finally had a chance to take the carbs off on clean them out. Didn't seem that dirty. Looks like the float was stuck down. The float plug must of shifted some how or the dirt came out when I drained the gas out of the carb. Had to adjust the float on the bad carb. Idles good and the prime ball gets hard now when I prime. Didn't before.
