Checked the Old primer bulb and it had an air leak. Cut fuel line flush and installed new primer bulb. Also checked fuel filter, it was clean but blew out the lines clean anyways. Took off intake and found that one of the carbs was leaking fuel, bad float?, ordered rebuild kit with the float from Crowley marine. Will restart after carb is repaired. Priming the fuel system resulted fuel leak at the carb, don't want to literally burn the motor up..

What he said. That's why I asked above. If it locked up, quit wasti,g your time with carb kits and primer bulbs and find out what locked up. It makes no sense to dump money into an engine that may be toast.

Still running VRO. Not locked up. Yesterday she started up, ran at idle then choked out. Sounded like she was fuel starved. That's when I discovered the bad primer bulb.
