I have a pontoon boat with a yamaha 40HP 4 stroke which stalled out my last time in the water last year. just had it looked at. at least one of the carburetors is leaking gas. quoted at $650 for the bottom carburetor and estimated at $350 for labor...is there anything I can do other than replacing the carburetor?
 
Remove the carb and check it carefully for loose fuel line connections- the needle valve also might not be seating properly and is causing flooding.
 
Do you leave gasoline in the carburetors when engine sits for prolonged periods of time ?-------Sounds like a float valve is stuck.-------Possibly look into cleaning it yourself.-------When shops get into this type of repair it gets spendy in a hurry.
