Johnson / Evinrude Outboard float bowl problems
Replaced my leaky warped float bowls, because the plastic carb bowls of OMC engines has been known to warp and become out of shape due to the ethanol in the fuel. Also causes the "bb" or "steel ball" looking seal to fail, It is a common problem. Here is what I did to fix it and prevent it from happening again.
Side note: I was told that the bb actually allows air to leave the float bowl when gas is pumped in, I'm not sure that this is entirely true. any feedback would be appreciated.
