The backs of my boat seats have started to lean too far back. The cushions are ok, and I hate to replace the seats. Is there any way to fix them so the backs will sit more upright?

I've got a 1980 9.9 Johnson with a 15 hp. carb., that I had rebuilt last spring. It ran well the few times I ran it then, but I haven't run it much since. I tried to start it last week, and it wouldn't start. Finally got it started by running marine carb. cleaner through the motor, but now I...
