Default Celebrity Boat Carburetor problem

Sounds like a float issue. Do you have a full size spin on fuel filter? If
not add one and check your fuel tank for crud and water. A new carb should
last you many years.

I've got a Celebrity boat which has been having carburetor trouble
lately. The carburetor is a Rochester Quadrajet Carburetor, Model
4MV, Rochester No.17083515. It is used on a 1985 Chevy Marine engine,
V6/229 cu.in./ 185 Hp. Droplets of gas can be seen in primary bores
(both sides) dripping from somewhere stalling out the engine after a
few minutes. A new carburetor ran fine for a year but the same
problem is back again. The original carburetor was rebuilt a few
times but the problem persists.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
