Carb girl? My bad. Erase the girl.
The carb issue maybe that's what I wanted to write But is there a carb girl out there? I'm good with that

I found her

:fam:

I saw the news story on her, kinda cool way for a teenager to make some money that s not sitting behind a computer screen.

That would put some zip in the ole Merc 50 horse

Yep, sounds like a float stuck or maybe trash in between the needle and seat not letting it close when the bowl is full. You can get a carb kit and go through it. Its not hard, really. Check the float, maybe saturated with gas making it too heavy, holding the needle open.

Phat daddy send her to me. This would be a piece of cake for her and as far as the float being stuck, I took the bowl off and it was stuck because a metal piece came off and wedge itself between the float and the wall. The piece that came off is call a baffle, I don't know what it does but was told it keeps the fuel in the bowl flowing when you make hard turns. I put the bowl back on to test it but fuel was leaking from the bowl gasket. I just ordered a kit that has the bowl gasket and am waiting to put it together. I'm keeping my fingers crossed . I never messed with a carb before and am hoping it lines up ,the gasket with the bottom of the carb. I will let you guys and girls know how I make out.
The problem is that I'm doing this while it's still on the block,not to much space to work with, I just have to make sure I don't drop the screw. That would reely suck
