My carb on my 305 omc (2bbl) is so sensetive, that it floods if you pump more than once and if you dont it just wont start (sometimes>>) its weird and once its running and warm it starts right up in N.. with no pumping. Any suggestions,? the mechanic i use has said its just a ***** to start. and the carb seems ok.. just like to know any opinions. And in regards to previous posts..re: hydrolock... the mechanic said he thinks it was fuel locked? i dont know about that. could flooding be my problem here regarding all past post?

If it floods that easy there must be a reason, maybe the choke is sticking, or the vaccum break is not opening up the choke a little when it starts, or the float is sticking. Need to go thru the carb and get it set right.
