Default Re: Mercury 115 Inline-6 gremlins cure?

Put carb float in ran it in a barrel and got it to idle pretty quickly, although rough. Probably need to scrub the lot of them, but hopefully I can slip out this weekend and run 20 or 30 gallons w/quickleen through her... I hear her beggin now...

Anyway, I'm concerned that while running in the barrel the intake was sucking up the napalm goo created by fuel/oil mix dripped into barrel. started foaming effluent out the exhaust... have I created a monster? or will a good salt water bath follow by rabbit ear flush clean out the water flow paths...the pyroclastic-looking flow scared the pee out of me.
