Swap the carbs from motor to motor and see if the problem follows the carb. Then decide what to do next.

if its a quadrajet get the number stamped on the carb and go to pep boys or napa and they can look it up and order you the kit a whole lot cheaper than the marina. most other auto parts stores cant cross reference buy part number any more but you can try them.

They are q-jets i just wasn't sure if automotive stores could get the kits for marine carbs if there is any difference in the rebuild kits. Thanks for the info.

thats why you need the numbers stamped on the carb so they can order the correct kit the kits are carb specific so it will work if you follow the directions. i bought the exact same kit from pep boys it was like $20.00 at the boat place it was $60.00 same kit same instructions pretty sad.
