Fuel leak

[Daviet]

I have a 1983 50 hp mariner and have a fuel leak when I pump the primer bulb. It seems like fuel comes out of both economizer jets, I think that is what the parts manual called them. The primer bulb will not pump up firm with this fuel leak. Do I have a needle and seat problem ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Fuel leak

Sounds like time to do some carb rebuilding. Yes, be sure to replace the needle and seats. Also check the floats for leaks.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking it might be time to rebuild carbs. Manual on the way, parts to follow. Thanks again for the help.
