Hi Guys, My motor is leaking fuel and I'm trying to figure out why. It seems to be coming out of the exhaust (bottom hole on the back of the shaft) It's also possible that it's just running down the shaft and seems to be coming from there. It also was coming out of the high speed knob, but the nut was loose on the carb so I tightened it and it seemed to stop from there. This all happened after I pulled it off the stand to put it back on the boat. (I tilted it back a bit). I let the motor sit on the stand with pressure in the fuel line. Would that cause it--just filling up the carb and it spilling out? Should I relieve the pressure when not in use? Any troubleshooting, advice or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
