Celebrity Boat Carburetor problem
I've got a Celebrity boat which has been having carburetor trouble
lately. The carburetor is a Rochester Quadrajet Carburetor, Model
4MV, Rochester No.17083515. It is used on a 1985 Chevy Marine engine,
V6/229 cu.in./ 185 Hp. Droplets of gas can be seen in primary bores
(both sides) dripping from somewhere stalling out the engine after a
few minutes. A new carburetor ran fine for a year but the same
problem is back again. The original carburetor was rebuilt a few
times but the problem persists.Anyone have any ideas? Thanks,
Eric |

| A common problem with user-overhauled QJ is missing lower accel pump |

| Sounds like a float issue. Do you have a full size spin on fuel filter? If
not add one and check your fuel tank for crud and water. A new carb should
last you many years. "Nikyu" <eryk33@netscape.net> wrote in message |

| Do a rebuild on the carb. The needle and seat is leaking and/or the float is
heavy. Make sure the fuel pump pressure isn't too high. I think it should be
about 4-6 lbs.
