Ok this is want I did maybe I made a mistake. I flushed my four carburetors on my 1995 125 hp mariner outboard. I pulled the plugs on all four carburetor bowls and flushed with B-12 chemtool straight till cleaner came out out all four carbs at the bottom of drain bowl plugs. then I put the plugs back on all four carbs and pumped more in the carbs then let sit overnight then I pulled the drain plugs on the bottom of the carburetors and tryed to flush gas thru them and now I am not getting anything thru the bottom bowls. Do you guys think I plugged the float valve solid on all four valves. I disconnected the bottom fuel line going to the the bottom carburetor and pump the primer bulb and I get gas to the bottom but not in the carbs. So I guess the question is are my float valves plugged or stuck or did I ruined the valve. Thanks for any input.
 
What you should have done was remove the carbs and cleaned them properly. You may have melted the plastic and rubber parts in the carbs.
Your next step is to remove and inspect what you have done.
 
That’s what I was afraid of. I am going to take them off and see what damages I have done. It won’t be till late June before I attempt to do that job. But I will post it when I find what I screwed up. Thanks.
 
Oboy this is not going to be a good summer for me. But I guess it will be a learning one. You think after I go thru carb cleaning and replacing parts I have to. That I should test the fuel pump some how before I take the fuel pump apart. I think I caused enough problems I would hate to start more. Lol.
