I have a 1965 Merc 35HP outboard. Engine runs fine but gas has started
flooding out of carb intake as soon as gas line hooked up. Any ideas??
That usually indicates a problem with the float and or needle valve.
Possibly the float isn't or the needle valve is stuck open or not
seating properly
He says gas pouring "out" of the carb, and that it runs fine.
I would think that a stuck float would be overflowing "into"
the throats thus causing tons of black smoke, loading up,
chugging, and such. He didn't say "where" on the carb the
gas is pouring out from. Side, bottom, top, etc. etc.
