You need to rebuild your carbs. You have either a bad needle and seat, trash in it, or defective float.

Re: Maybe no spark

Is it pricey to have it done at a marina or is it easy enough for a slightly handy guy

Not rocket science, Cheffy. Just follow the instructions in the factory manual.

If you don't have a manual, get one. Much better investment than replacing stuff that might not need changing.
