Re: Carbs leaking
Don't believe I can be of much help here, sorry.
I never had an issue with fuel leakage when I trimmed the engine out of the water. You mentioned tilting it straight up -- I believe mine was always turned all the way to starboard when I brought it up, it just seemed to naturally go that way. Have anything to do with it? I don't know.
As far as RPMs, it's been a few years and I never wrote down what kind of revs I was getting at speeds, and so on. But I don't believe I ever got her to 5000, only high 4s.
I can tell you that that 155 was a really durable engine. We got a LOT of service out of it, and it just wouldn't die. For years the guys at the marina called it the "miracle motor," among other things. ::)
