Default Celebrity Boat Carburetor problem

Do a rebuild on the carb. The needle and seat is leaking and/or the float is
heavy. Make sure the fuel pump pressure isn't too high. I think it should be
about 4-6 lbs.

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
