I have a 1989 50hp Force. It has the Tillotson? WE17c carb, number 684061. It is new to me. It started OK, but ran rough. I Took the carb off. I have no idea how it started with all the gunk in there. I cleaned the whole thing, Now cannot figure out how to put the float spring back on. Any help will be appreciated. I searched forums all over, you tube and Google, but no luck in finding out how that spring fits in there.

Thank you,
Steve
 
It needs to be set with tension or spring it under the float and then install.
Hard to explain.
Where you located?
Fill out the profile, location.
 
I thought (maybe) you might be close?
Then you could bring it by.
Wildwood's not close enough for a little run.
I'll look in my manual and see if I can find a pic and try posting.
Send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll pass along a pic I found.

Got it all back together, squeezed the bulb, started right up! Took it to the local lake for testing...I can only get...25% power with the throttle all the way forward. As I look at the engine now in the garage with the throttle forward, it looks like it is not getting as far forward as it should. I don't think the float spring is the problem...

I believe it forces the float down so the needle won't get stuck up in there.
Order one.
Not sure but I think it can be installed upside down.
