Just rebuilt 3/6 carbs (Starboard motor/Port side) on a pair of 1995 Johnson 175's.
It appears that all (12) are leaking to some degree..........just recently purchased the boat.
I now know the issue w/ the float bowls warping/leaking and the "ball bearing" on the side of the float bowl coming out!
On the other (3) carbs on the Starboard motor I added MarineTex to the spot w/ the ball bearing as I did on the carbs I rebuilt.
Question: when I prime the engine with the "gas" primer bulb, am I priming the carbs w/ pure gas and not 50:1? VRO pump is in tack and appears to be functioning.
Plan on starting tonight!
TIA!
