"I have a BF90 outboard (bit older)on a Mexican panga (fishing boat) down in Baja. I had the carbs rebuilt last year by a local mechanic. I took it out last week and the motor stalled on me after a few hours running. No alarms etc. I restarted it and got back to shore (I was thankfully only about .75 miles out). I took off the housing and discovered there had been some type of fire inside the sound dampener that covers the carbs. It looks like the #2 carb (2nd from bottom) had a fuel leak and some kind of blow back ignited it. The dampner had melted and completely closed off the bottom carb intake. Any ideas on what caused this (besides a bad mechanic)? Also, I would love suggestions on where to get cheap carb rebuild kits and a replacement dampener.
Thanks!"
