Hi all,
I recently purchased a 1990 Carver with twin 454s. Port is Generation 4 and starboard is Generation 5.
I exchanged the carb on the Gen 4 motor for a rebuilt one (the accel pump was not working on the original one). The rebuilt carb works great except it leaks fuel from the bottom of the carb after engine shutdown. There is no leak while running. The fuel accumulates on the top of the manifold, both front, right, and left sides. The engine has a mechanical pump. There was no leak with the old carb. It was just very hard to start since the accel. pump was not working and it has no choke.
I took the carb back to the shop and he cleaned out the bowl and needle valve. He tested it and there were no leaks on the bench.
I don't have the serial number handy right now. He assured me that it was the same model as the original carb but I am not totally sure if it is a marine or automotive carb. I will get the serial numbers.
I have a thin gasket between the carb and manifold, similar to the oem Crusader gasket.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Barry
