I took my Nissan 5b carb off, soaked it, blew it out, re-assembled it and it ran great! Two days later the carb was seeping fuel, and it started to run crappy. I did the same for my extra carb ( I have a parts motor).....same results. I am definitely no carb guru, but my previous Honda motorcycle, VW, and this same outboard carb adventures ended without these symptoms.
I am about to order a 83.00(ouch on my current boat budget) rebuild kit, but was hoping someone might steer me in the right direction.
Both carbs were in great shape, the bowl gaskets good, and the floats did float with no visible pinholes.
Any ideas appreciated!
