Gas leaking from carburetor?

Force Boat Motor leaking gas out of carburetor?

  • I just bought a force motor 1990 model 125 horsepower. When you pump gas the motor or crank the motor, Gas will pour out of the upper carb. The motor runs fine at a idle but does not have no power. I took off the carb and look at the values and none seemed to be broke. I really don't have no idea what could be causing it to do this and any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Answer:

    only one thing: the float valve needle and/or seat is worn, or the o-ring is damaged. possible it's a different o-ring, but that's usually the culprit. you can't detect it visually, but that's what it is. easy fix, order carb kits (one for each carb), take 'em apart, soak 'em in carb cleaner, put 'em back together using the new gaskets, orings, needles & seats. might as well do 'em all, and clean 'em while you're at it. piece of cake for the average do-it-yourselfer with some basic tools and a service manual.

I agree with jtexas, rebuild the carbs. Then see if it runs better. Good luck!

Stuck float, or bad needle valve on the fuel inlet.

The Force was really a Chrysler back then, They had 2 designs for the needle and seat. First was the scew in seat like mercury used, Then some bright spark of an engineer came up with the pressed in seat. Not satisfied with that --they put a tiny green "O" ring at the bottom. If you have the "O" ring style-- take the carb bodies to a dealer and have them struggle with those little buggars. The carbs are just a tin can with a hole in the bottom- so you can save money just having the seats installed and you do the rest. Test the seats by turning the carbs upside down and blowing in the fuel line inlets. They should not pass air till right side up. Great motor real simple.
