Rebuilt all three carbs on my 2006 50 hp Honda, (took some time to get all the parts together, why can't Honda sell a kit?) Put it back together and it started on the first crank. Ran for about 2 minutes smooth as anything. But it then started spitting an amazing amount of fuel out of the carbs and flooded out. By an amazing amount I'm talking "run for the fire extinguisher" time. I've rebuilt plenty of carbs on different engines before, what the heck did I do wrong? No gas was coming out of the overflow tube, all blew back out of the front of the carbs. Maybe I got the fuel hose connections wrong?
Could this be the bystarter? It's still original to the motor. Is there any way to block it out of the circuit to test it? I'd hate to wait for yet another part to arrive in the mail, the "replace things till it gets fixed" method is for the birds.
Any possibility of an issue internal to the carb body? They were in pretty horrible shape prior to my getting them off.
