[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 355358, member: 4469"] Well, I tore into it today, found that one nut on top carb holding it to the intake manifold was loose, took it off anyway. Cleaned it all up (was clean), checked holes, float, etc., blew it out with air. Took off the bottom carb, found a piece of plastic in jet that is opposite drain screw on bowl. Removed that, blew it all out, etc.. Only other carb work I have ever done was mess with my mower carb (which now works). All gaskets in good shape. Put all the carb stuff back on. Removed the cylinder head water jacket cover, found 2 bolts on bottom missing, needs new gasket and replacing thermostat / seat since I'm in there. This is stuff you get when buying 26 year old boat / motor sometimes but it was ok for last 2 years. New parts on order. Thanks for the help guys and BTW, my water leak was way more than drip LOL.
