WELL I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE TO LOOK AT THE FUEL LEAK PROBLEM. FOUND THAT THE FLOAT BOWELS WERE WARPED,THE WORST ON THE BOTTOM. ENDED UP REPLACING ALL SIX FLOAT BOWLES AND GASKET KITS,WHEN HE PULLED THE CARBS OFF FOUND TWO WITH THE MAIN JETS JUST SITTING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BOWLES AND ALL THE REST WERE LOOSE!! SO ALL CARBS WERE REBUILT. ALSO REPLACED BOTH TRIM ACTUATORS AS MY STARBOARD WAS BLOWN. WENT WITH BENNETT A1101A ACTUATORS. HAD TO DRILL NEW HOLES AND FILL THE OLD ONES WITH EPOXY. HE DID A NICE JOB AS YOU CANT REALLY SEE WERE THE OLD ONES WERE,REPLACED THE FITTINGS,ELBOWS AND TUBING. THEN RESEALED THE OUTBOARD STEERING CYL.HE NOTICED SHIFTER WAS STIFF,SO OFF WITH THE LOWER UNIT AND REPLACED SHIFT ROD SEALS AND CLEANED SHAFT.WITH THE LOWER UNIT OFF REPLACED THE IMPELLER AND OF COURSE CHANGED GEAR LUB. PICKED IT UP ON FRI AND SPENT ALL DAY SAT CLEANING. GOING OUT TODAY I HOPE FOR A GOOD TROUBLE FREE DAY!!!I JUST GOT TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS NITT PICKING ME TO DEATH SO I BIT THE BULLETT!STILL HAVE BOTTOM PAINT BOOT STRIPE AND TRIM/TILT MOTER BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTILL I CAN RECOVER FROM THIS VISIT TO THE SHOP!!
