carbs clogging up on 1982 evinrude 200hp

[compoundxx75]

Having a problem with carberators clogging up. The place they are clogging up is the two little air ports on each of the carbs. I keep cleaning and keep getting this light blue or green milky colored gummy stuff in the two ports. Dont know how this is happening. When I clean them then the engine runs fine for a while then starts to bog down after awhile. Check them again and they have the gummy stuff in them again. Anybody tell me whats going on here??????

This is purely a guess on my part. I would suspision a rubber hose some place along the fuel syestem is breaking down under the fuel/oil mixture.<br /><br />A rubber hose intended for air compressers will not work on a fuel system. The green part I would guess is just fuel/oil clinging to the desolved rubber.<br /><br />Like I said Iam just guessing. But Id check all the hoses to see if they are correct type. all the way to carbs.<br /><br />More power to ya!

thanks goodole thats more of a guess than I had. Didnt think of that Ill have to change all the fuel lines. Dont know what the last guy put on for fuel lines. But if its like anything else on the boat that might be it.
