got a mercarb 2bbl sitting on a merc 3.7 165. intake keeps flooding mercilessly just while cranking. (engine will kick a few then quit) to make a long story short..the fuel pump is fine..the carb itself isn't flooding but it sends all sorts of fuel into the intake. I intend to take the carb apart tonight...but I do notice that each time I pull it apart..the power piston comes right out loose...just as if it was sitting on the power valve all the time (so..I am figuring that the engine vacuum should keep it from doing that)
If I peen that thing in place so it keeps from falling out..am I on the right track to resolving this issue? I am tired of cleaning up my intake from 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of fuel every time I crank the starter!
thanks guys..hope there is an easy answer to this one
