OK... saga continues. New powerhead, redone carbs. Engine sneezes at idle, crossflow line come off fittings (at green arrow, view from starboard), and a spray of fuel comes out of the line.

Can't think of anything other than excessive intake pressure, and don't see any way for that to happen other than reeds going bad (looked OK on disassembly). Thoughts?

Primer solenoid open / leaking?

Crankcase pressure is not that high.----And a bad reed valve would mean LOWER crankcase pressure
