Thanks for all the suggestions guys. What I ended up doing was having
it professionally rebuilt. I wanted to get the most out of what is
left of the boating season. Also when I rebuilt the carburetor I did
my best to adjust everything according to the directions. So I
figured that if I tried to readjust the float according to the
directions I would just end up right where I started. So I decided
that I wasn't quite qualified yet. But now the problem is gone. Also
just so you know I asked what was wrong with it and they said that
they had to readjust the float. So you guys were right. James

Sometimes that's the best approach. I had no problem rebuilding
engines, but wouldn't touch a carb after I saw I was batting .500.
Nice to hear you're back in business.
