"I have finished the rebuild of my '77 70HP power head - but not the carbs. I have run it for an hour or so in a tank, on the trailer. I have read many articles on this forum and I guess that I should overhaul them - especially since I think it runs a little rich since harldy any choke is needed when starting in cold weather (50oF) and when it has been run at home, tilt it and take it to the ramp, I have to start it as if it has flooded - ie throttle open. In overhauling the carbs, what is the "float height" measurement? Any other advice?
Thanks"
