gas leaking out the top of my 75hp merc

[ahawk100]

I have a 1986 75 merc and the last time I had it out, I was leaking gas. It was leaking under neath the crowl, same side as the gas input nipple.<br /><br /> I have pulled the crowl off and I see nothing obvious, no broken hoses, no cracked gas filter.

Take the cowling off, pump the bulb and look for the leak(s). Could be a leaking needle & seat, loose hose, etc. When you pump the bulb, you pressurize the fuel system and that should enable you to find the source.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

This would fit better in Merc Troubles. Going there.
