Belt help please

on the rochester carbs the fuel well will usually eventually leak through. we used to epoxy them to fix the issue. man...i haven't worked on a carb in 20 years and forgot all about this issue. a guy at the marina today just rebuilt his Q-Jet and is still having issues. time to refresh myself i guess. thought i was done with carbs...lol

Was told installing a fuel shut off valve will help. What you think?

Plugs are AC MR43T. I like AC plugs in GM motors.


If you haven't found it yet, here's the Mercruiser Manual for that engine:

It has plugs listed depending on type of ignition.

I think I found the issue. A guy suggested checking my floats cause he had same issue amd found a hole in one of his. So when I checked tonight I did find one of the floats with gas in it. This extra weight must not be letting the float work correctly. Just gotta find a new one and give it the test.
