Hi, Another project on the old still running boat with Mercury XR2 150hp. We where out about 2 months ago and I had to switch to a backup tank that i knew was dirtier gas( i know i should have gotten rid of it or at least ran some clean gas through the carbs). now i have the 6 carburetor setup where 2 of the bowls (middle and lower) do not fill up with gas. Only the top bowl fills up.
Im faced with getting somebody to rebuild or doing it myself.
Any suggestions on this? i am mechanically inclined having kept the motor running this long. I am going to call a place to see what they charge on Monday but guessing it will be 500-700 i might just do it myself.
any feedback including calling me a dummy for using bad gas and not immediately doing something after is appreciated.
