|  Carb leaking 
			
			Ok  well I winterized my wellcraft today and started to winterize  my other boat it's got a 1984 50 hp Mercury outboard  I started it, ran rough stalled out at idle and noticed fuel pouring out of the top carb, my question is this, what do I do?  What is wrong? Is the float stuck and how to fix it     Thanks for any replys     Thanks guys   And hope you all had a happy thanksgiving

			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

			Do I just hit it with carb cleaner if I take the bowl down ?

			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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3-0SkPEZvE I would always go with Spare's advise.
