    When you say you rebuilt the carburetor, did you install a new OMC/BRP carb repair kit? Did you install the small seal between the carb top and bottom? It is a small round ring and it seals the inside of the bowl so no air leaks. It goes on the main nozzle pickup tube. If you used the old gaskets and such, it might be causing the problems you describe.
