!985 150 merc carb question

[CU2NITE]

When I sqeeze my fuel bulb I noticed one of my carb jets is spurting fuel. What would cause this? And would this cause my motor to bog or miss at low rpms? It runs great at high rpms.
Thank you

In some cases the bulb has enough pressure to force fuel by the inlet needle if the engine idles without alot of smoking it will probably be alright for a while if if smokes the inlet needle is leaking

Will this cause a runnability problem?CU

Not if it's not dripping at idle, if it don't drip at idle then the excessive bulb pressure pushed the needle off the seat
