Hi all,
My initial excitement of finally completing enough repairs to get our boat operational was quickly interrupted by the carb acting up. I was fairly certain that it had some crud in it and after looking inside, I can hardly believe the thing ran at all!
Ken suggested on the phone that I "spray the living bejeezus out of it" which I have done, followed by soaking in gas overnight and am about to continue spraying (can't call Ken to ask about rebuilding since its the weekend ).
I got a rebuild kit since it includes the gaskets, but is it good enough to just clean, replace gaskets and be on my way? It worked well besides the clogging and I'm intimidated by all the tiny adjustments required when removing and replacing things.
Anyone have pro tips about how to remove/replace the float to replace the gasket? Looks pretty straightforward, just remove the pin?
THANKS!
