So a quick break down on what is going on. I have a Triton tr-20 that I got from a family member who passed away. I believe it's 1999. The boat was sitting for 4 years so I drained all the gas, changed the fuel filter, plugs, lower end fluid, and went through all the wiring (and new battery). Once she looked good I hooked up the water and she started right up. I immediately noticed fuel pooring out of a fitting with a hole in it. I will attach pictures of the fitting. It's right under the oil tank. I also did not see any water coming out of the tell in the back, but she was only running for less than a minute. I did take off the hoses and attempted to use carb clean in there in case something was stuck, but do not see anything. Any ideas out be great, thanks!

Ryan
