 Sorry, Randy. Been busy with my dog. He just surgery on his foot and now just got infected. So, back on darn antibiotics! :(

 Anyways, Hillbilly knows what he is talking about and I agree with him 100%. Also, I am not 100% sure, but you may have problems finding a rebuild kit for the 17060303. Not sure if, Cliff, would carry one for that carb number, but wouldn't surprise me if he did. :D

 Also, what base Marine settings are you looking for? Float height? Float drop? Idle mixture screw adjustment? Etc.?

Eathan/Hillbilly, Thx for the replies ! I had to get "local" kits quick to get back on the water, but may go over them again in the off season. The kits I got are supposed to be "ethanol approved" for what that may be worth..lol
The pump in the starboard engine was shot, don't know how it ran as well as it did. I did have a needle seat issue with one of the kits as Cliff suggests might happen, so will probly do them again and replace the float at that time. As for settings I was looking for idle mixture float drop ect that might have been more specific to the marine engines. I will try and tune them in best I can and "see how it goes" The more I can keep them off the secondaries, the more I can stay away from the fuel dock...ouch $4.00/gal plus. Eathan sorry about your dog, hope he heals quick !

 Randy, That is a Holley Reman carb, so if you have questions tuning it to spec, I would give there tech line a call. 866-464-6553

 Also, Baxter is doing well. Had to where the cone of shame for a few days. He sure didn't like it, but it was for his own good. He is a Basset Hound by the way. My buddy and best friend! Take care and hope you get that CC up and running properly.

 If you have anymore questions, feel free to post whatever questions you have! God bless. Ethan

 Here is some more info:

 Float Height: 15/64"
 Pump Rod Hole Location: Inner
 Air Valve Spring Wind Up: 3/8" (Turn 60-75 Gr.)
 Idle Mixture Screw Setting: 2-3 Turns Out
 
 HTH!
