Resurrecting an old thread. Another success using Trans X, I have a beater 2000 OB with about 280K miles, it had been running pretty well then started with the delayed engagement pattern, it was bad enough I wondered if I was going to have to get a new transmission. I added one 15oz bottle of K&W Trans X and it is vastly improved. BTW I am not a person who trusts snake oil, magic in a bottle, etc but this stuff works.

Bennie, it sounds like the float level could be low, leaning out the mixture. If it were a sinking float with a leak in it, the needle & seat would be open too much of the time, high level fuel flooding over into the venturi. Some times you can see drips of fuel while at idle. This sounds like a gurgling while at cruise. If it were a brass float, leaks can be found by putting it in a pan of boiling water & watch for bubbles escaping. Carb kit on fleabay, item # 254556737560 I'm guessing at your MY.
