The carbs were rebuilt prior to me buying the boat (no idea what that means though...) and looked like they were cleaned with new gaskets so I am assuming (I know, I know) the pumps were replaced. When I did tear down the one pump to find a small leak, and fixed it, the diaphrams looked good and clean with no tears/holes. I know I am going to have to tear them off the block and take them apart, just trying to minimize having to do both if I can!
Anyway, might try to bowl drain trick. You also got me thinking, might wait until it stalls out then pull the fuel line from one, plug it and pump, switch and repeat. That might let me see which needs more, IF it's just one! -Svence -Svence

Well just got the gaskets pulled and I think I found the problem...The gaskets between the carb and block were upside down, the pulse hole was completely blocked. The gaskets were installed before I got the motor so I never even thought about it. Off to get two new ones tomorrow. Also going to change out the fuel pump diaphragms as I have two of them sitting here now. Hope this gets it all straightened out.

X2 What Lathehand wrote. I would go thru the carbs and double check evrything after finding the gaskets upside down. That was your A-HA moment right there.

Gaskets and diaphrams replaced and she pumps fuel! Everything is up and running, just need to tweak the idle. Hoping to splash her tonight. Thanks for all the help.

You putting it on the McKee Craft? Good to hear she pumps and runs.
The one time I had carb issues with mine it was flooding at the boat ramp in Homasassa at the beginning of a fishin trip. I managed to take one of the carbs off, free up the needle and put her back together. I mean end wrenches, crescent wrench and a screwdriver. Went 40 miles that day. Never had to go back in the carbs and it didn't even take a gasket set.
