Sounds right to me, take apart, clean, replace if worn.

The bottom carb on my '85 Evenrude 70 HP is leaks fuel badly when I
squeeze the pressurizing bulb on the tank fuel line. I'm thinking it is
a float valve problem. Does that sound correct or are there other
possibilities? What needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.
