Hi, I have a Johnson 1988 150hp GT
J150STLCCA
I noticed recently that when I prime the fuel bulb, there are fuel spilling out of a tube at the front side, starboard side of the carburetor. Red arrow in the attached picture.
I heard that this might be carburetor float/pin wear or out of adjustment. or is it? Is it bad if I ignore it? It has been like this for a while, the motor has been running fine. The plugs looks a little on the wet side but not bad.
My experience to the outboard is limited to changing water pump, lower unit oil and seafoam decarb the engine (twice a year). Can I tackle the problem myself?
Thank you all!
