Re: 1958 Evinrude Lark carb leaking

Agree with Chris here. There could be many reasons for the fuel flow. Chris has hit many of them. Is your pivot pin smooth and free of any scratches or imperfections? Is it true? Meaning straight and not warped or bent? Is the gasket too long on the inside of the carb bowl? Often times the gaskets from Sierra have to be trimmed as their fit is off and could impede the free movement of the float. Make sure the float is buoyant and sealed.
And don’t ever buy from Sierra again. It’s 90% crap. I’ll be getting lots of flak over this statement but I won’t buy it unless there are no alternatives. Just sayin……
