Sounds like a stuck float, might have to take the bowl off the carb and clean it up in there, or you may need a new float if it is saturated.

I see a bolt thru the middle of the bowl if I take it down are there any springs or anything that would make it difficult I have never taken a bowl off a carb before

I don't have any experience working on that model but here is a video of a guy working on his 1985 Merc 50 carbs.

Randlemanboater thanks for tracking down that video, I think I will leave the carbs to the mechanics

those carbs are real easy to rebuild, nothing complicated inside. But they are a pain to set back up on the engine correctly, there are some tricks to them. Set up correctly, they will idle as good as a four stroke efi engine. Take it to a shop that is familiar with that engine
