Fule leak when engine is tilted up

[FAV453]

98 225 ocean runner I noticed some fuel dripped out of the motor housing after I primed the bulbs with the engine tilted up. I have never noticed this before but I happened to be looking back there on start up and saw the fuel. I checked all the lines and could not find a leak. I read that some fuel collects in the airbox. I figure priming it with it tilted allowed fuel to drip into the airbox?

Re: Fule leak when engine is tilted up

Normal<br />The carb bowl floats will be seated better and you will avoid excess fuel escaping if you prime while the motor is vertical. A little bit of fuel mix in the airbox is normal and will evaporate or be consumed while running.<br />Good luck
