Advice need: replace float or rebuild carb

[Maraian]

Advice needed: bought 2006 J15 in 2012, PO said fresh carb cleaned/ serviced. In 2016 had issue with stalling in gear at idle, then hard to start, wait ten minutes and will restart and fuel leaking out of carb. Ended up changing the float and seat and doing a quick clean and blow dry. Fixed it. Now seems the same problem has reoccurred. Should I just change float again or do full rebuild ( already bought full kit, just don’t want to end up screwing it up when all I really needed was a float) thnx

Carburetors rarely cause these issues if maintained.-----So clean the carburetor . set float properly.----No parts required to do that.-----Did one for relative last year, no parts needed.------Run the carburetor dry when done boating and you will not need to touch it for 20 years.----Empty carburetors stay clean and do not gum up !
