I have a 1968 18 hp Fastwin. I recently replaced the fuel pump. When I turn off the motor it leaks out a decent sized rainbow of gas into the water - a half circle about 4-5 feet across. I hoped that the new fuel pump might correct this problem, but it didn't. I know two strokes are messy, but I have had other two strokes that did not give up this much gas when turned off. Is there anything that I can do to correct or reduce this problem?

possibly adjust float needle in carb. those motors are known for a big slick.
