I’ve had a number of OMC carbs lately that have dried up clogs (mostly motors that have not been run for many years), and a couple had the coating on the float flaking off so float soaks up gas and sinks – ethanol in the gas attacks the coating. Any carb I have apart now with a cork float gets a coating of clear, hot fuel proof, model airplane dope to seal it and make it ethanol resistant, just in case someone gets one of my motors and doesn’t know any better. I agree the OMC coils are shot if they are original. I now always keep a couple new Sierra ones on hand.
