"Bill McKee" wrote in message nk.net... "Mr Wizzard" wrote in message ... "Mike G" wrote in message .net... In article .com, says... 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. He says to quote him "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??" My bad... need to learn to read I guess. The intake, as soon as he hooks the line up. The pressure in the line is forcing fuel past the needle valve. May not be enough to flood the engine when running. May also be lower pressure from the fuel pump than the pressure bulb. |
