fuel pissing from carb

[reilly]

I just took out my 86 bayliner w/force 125 o/b. found that there is fuel squirting from two holes on my lower carb. top carb is fine. there is one hole on the right top and the other lower left on the carb. dont know how to fix or what caused it. any help would be appreciated.

Sounds to me like the needle valve and seat in the carb are worn or stuck. Get a carb repair kit at NAPA or marine dealer and follow instructions included and that should solve problem. It wouldn't hurt to rebuild both carbs at the same time. It would be a good idea to change the fuel pump diaphragm too. All 3 kits should be less than $30 total. Don't mess with the other parts of the fuel pump,just change the diaphragm.

I took it out a week ago and it ran really good do you know why it would have stuck in a week. does the fuel mixture have somthing to do with it?

My guess is you need to readjust your float in that carb slightly. When you prime it with the bulb will leak gas on carb or does it hold a tight seal? If it squirts you should rebuild as scotiany says.
