1995 90hp SLEOC Evinrude,

At the end of last season I noticed a fuel leak from top starboard carb. It was coming from the fuel bowl where there was suppose to be a brass ball epoxied in. After looking at the carbs closer I also notice the top port carb was also leaking from the same spot but the brass ball was there, just loose. I purchased two new bowls and installed. I started the motor to then see fuel come out of the lower starboard fuel bowl from the same spot, same thing. It looks as though the epoxy was gone in each one. I tapped and installed a SS BHCS with and o-ring on both bottom carbs. Started motor, runs great...

Question: Any ideas why? Fuel, stabilizer

Maybe ethanol dissolved the epoxy or an overheat softened it.
A nylon screw with gas safe teflon tape will seal a (tapped) hole.
