TN27 5 hp leaking carburetor

[Michael Purpura]

Lloyd,
I took the carb apart and removed the float and float pin. It was dirty and when gently pushed into the seat it would stick. I cleaned and polished the pin, cleaned and redoped the float and put it back together. The float pin movement was much better. After all was assembled i gassed her up and no leaks. Sea trials on a cold lake scheduyfor tomorrow.

Mine is brass and i polished like a mirror, problem solved

Thank you for your help. Your seals worked in the primer too.

Frank,
I cleaned and polished the brass float pin. Now it seats snd stops the fuel flow. Thank you for your help with this problem
