HI Group,

The sickie is a 1978 Chrysler, 2 cycle, 70 HP outboard. The motors
been gone through and re-gasketed prior to my entry into its world. I
finished the motor by going through all the externals to ensure it's up
to snuff per the motor manual.

Build a motor stand to test and run the motor out of the water but with
water hose cooling supplied of course. The motor fired off and ran for
around a minute but then started pushing gasoline out the card throats.
I went back in and checked the float settings and the needle and seat
but found nothing abnormal. Also checked the distributor timing but it
was right on the money.

Any suggestions on what to look for next?
