So I go to the lake this weekend, after rebuilding the carb, putting in a new distributor, and changing the plugs. Thinking I was good to go put in the water, ran good, wouldn't idle! When i let out of the gas it would flood. I let it sit, wait five minutes, it will fire right up and go. So Sunday morning, I yanked the 850 and strapped a 750 on----- same thing! Any suggestions?
It's a 454(stock to my knowledge) with a berkeley 12jg pump on a Tahiti 18ft.
Also the pump is spewing water out the side so I know the wear ring is gone, and I was going to rebuild it soon, any suggestions there, I need all the input I can get. I looked on berkeley website and I'm not sure about the wear ring size or undersize???
