so, with everyones help I have found out that I need to check my coils and spark plug intensity which I will do.
But, ran the motor a couple of days ago and I had gas pouring out of the top two carbs. What would cause that??? I have a spare motor so I pulled a carb off the spare. What should I clean or replace on the carbs??? I thought there was more to these.

They are very simple but they must be clean !!---Usually no parts need to be replaced.------------Dealers like to say that kits were installed, because folks like to hear that.
 
that's good to hear. I will take this one apart and learn about it, clean it and then I can do that to the ones on my boat. Do you know what would cause the gas to pour out the front of the carb??? Thanks again for your help!
 
When gas pours out there is a problem with the float / float valve.------Could be as simple as dirt on the needle and seat or bits of hose breaking down from today's fuel.------These carburetors are elegantly simple to inspect / clean.
