Six Pack issues and rebuilding by tommyg29

I had to break the black foam float to get it out. The dented bowl pinched the slot for the float hinge pin just enough to crimp it in. It also seemed to operate stiffly, so I had to file the slot and then order another float.

I have taken David up on his offer of a replacement float bowl.

Seems not only is there now an invisible crack somewhere near that dent, but that ouboard carb is STILL pouring fuel down the throat. I dont understand it. The float operates freely and the new inlet valve SEEMS to operate properly.

I have pulled and dismantled that float bowl again (which I now have on the rear) and I guess its just replacement time. 

Thanks David  

and boy, getting those oem type fuel lines to line up PERFECTLY and NOT LEAK. Thats been a learning experience. That, and waiting for all the different rebuild parts to arrive from different sources all over the country.
