The fuel pump on an outboard motor works differently than the one found in your car or truck. Heres how to diagnose the problem1825.
Of course you cannot confirm this without checking for a leak but this is a rather common occurrence on engines with carburetors.
Outboard motor leaking gas from carb. Carb leaking fuel. Heres how to diagnose the problem1825. If playback doesnt begin shortly try restarting your device.
Videos you watch may be. Why is gas leaking out my carb. Its a 1961 Evinrude Lark III 40hp.
Just finished a rebuild of the carburetor using JohnsonEvinrude carb kit 439074. Carb was torn all the way down to a bare shell soaked on carb cleaner overnight and then cleaned with spray cleaner and compressed air. The welch plugs were removed for this.
Check the fuel valve rises and falls in its housing freely. Sometimes just rotating the moving part against its seating is enough to clear and free it off. You notice the fuel flow from the carb more on revving the engine because it has an engine operated fuel pump which increases fuel pressure and flow as the engine goes faster.
If you tilt the engine to an extremely high angle it is very possible that the fuel in the carburetor float bowls can escape. If you have gasoline leaking into the transom splash well when the engine is tilted up to maximum it is most likely coming from the carburetors. Of course you cannot confirm this without checking for a leak but this is a rather common occurrence on engines with carburetors.
It is also possible that there is a bad float valve in a carburetor. There is quite a bit of fuel mix the fuel that runs out is quite substantially oily running out from the front of the carbs if I tilt the motor say when we get to a shallow area and switch off. The motor also runs on after switching off the ignition for around 5 to 10 seconds.
Actually I think its a stuck float needle in the carb. That would cause it to flood the engine and not restart. Also there is carb bowl vent hole in the top of the carb.
A stuck needle would cause it to squirt out of that vent hole onto the tab above it making it look like its coming out block. Stickley my personal thought. Several things cause a carburetor to leak gas.
A loose fuel line connection is easy to correct by tightening the connection at the carburetor. If the leak persists the connection fitting is probably bad and it may be time to replace the fuel line. Another cause of a gas leak is a sticking float inside the carburetor bowl.
Gas coming out carb gas coming out the carb throat means the float valve is not seating correctly. Could be misadjusted float height or could be worn valve or valve seat. Did you replace the valves and seats with the new ones from the kit.
And the o-ring under the valve seat – any chance you might have forgotten it. If you are constantly having to prime your fuel line then it may be an air leak. The primer bulb is located between the gas tank and the engine.
It is used to fill the carburetor with fuel. In priming you fill the fuel tank turning the engine stop switch off. You then turn the ignition key on.
Fuel still leaking out front of carbs with engine tilted up I would think that tilting the motor up with your carb would put even more pressure on the float valve. In other words your float valves are not closing tilted or not. It is probably not.
First remove the fuel line from the carburetor and plug it so fuel does not run out. On the very bottom of the carburetor bowl there will be a small brass cover screw using a flat screw driver open this screw and allow all gas to drain from the carburetor system. Next close the screw and reinstall the fuel line.
If fuel is leaking out of the front of the carb then the problem is going to be the needle valve inside of the carb is dirty or worn out. The carb works similar to the way a toilet works. The toilet has a bowl which fills with water.
A carburetor is an important component of the correct functioning of your boats gas engine whether inboard or outboard. It mixes the right amount of fuel and air for combustion with the mix being sucked into the engine by a vacuum. As the vacuum pulls the air down through the carburetor the carburetor directs the fuel from the fuel bowl to mix with this incoming air.

I ve replaced the carburetor cover gasket and checked the oil tank under the cowling to no avail. Adding some vapour or a little air may not seem to be a problem but sooner or later it will be. Carburetor engines have float chambers that automatically separate the air and vapour from the liquid which would appear to make carburetor engines immune from this sort of problem but not so.
As soon as a vapour or air bubble. I need help with my mercury 15 hp 4 strokes engine. It leaks pretty bad.
I thought it was fuel pump or carburetor or clogged jet but turn out it just leak. The engine started fine when I first prime the bulb to get gas to engine. Disconnect the gas supply tube and I see a lot of gas shooting out while engine running so I guess the fuel pump is fine too.
When you tilt the motor up the carburetor bowls drain through the carburetor intake area. Most outboards do this in my experience. You can lessen it some by removing the fuel line and running the gas from the carburetors.
But you will usually get some drip when you tilt the motor up. A good fix is a new fuel injected outboard.
