from the bowl? and the wetness at the gasket? i wipe the gas off that gasket and 20 seconds later it looks like this. what is that gasket called?

see the hole just above the rubber to the left of your arrow? i think that is the overflow port when the engine is flooded? should fuel come out of it
ever? it does when i manually push down the blue chingas. that is not what is causing the seepage i am seeing when i wipe and 20 seconds later its
wet.
i got a call from CaptKW and i'm hoping my starting issue is me not understanding the procedure to start it. i was not pulling the choke lever at all
prior to pulling the rope. i thought it was warm in Sandy Eggo and choke wasn't needed. turns out that lever squirts fuel in to prime the carb! it
otherwise runs perfect. hopefully that's all it was.
now, one last question. should i run the carb dry prior to laying the motor on its side during transport in the back of my truck or does it not
matter?

I think that hole is to let gas out if the diaphragm leaks gas to the wrong side. Most fuel pumps are similar. Sounds like the rubber is old, dry,
cracked.

What's that line with the zip tie "hose clamp"?
Looks like a fuel line........but zip ties cant close completely around the entire circumference of the hose opening. And since that line is pointed
down, fuel could leak IF that is a fuel line.
Get a stainless clamp on that, Woodrow, if it is a fuel or air line.
Can I call you Woodrow?

overflow for gas...when you push the ball too much...
I use a choke one time...then after it starts...never...you'll flood it
watch witch side you lay it on...there is a "correct" side

that is the fuel line to the filter from the tank. it is a non-OEM zip tie as the other 3 are black. to satisfy the Hookster i changed it out with the
only small worm drive clamp i have.
WHICH SIDE IS THE RIGHT SIDE? i mean correct side!
oh, and ordered up a rebuild kit for the carb/fuel pump from mercuryparts-direct.com

Woody - One day soon we'll sit around at BoLA and BS about this engine. I could have fixed this in about an hour. I know mechanical things VERY
well...

4 stroke outboards must lay tiller side down, don't think it
matters with 2strokes. but im sure the captain will set us straight!

Cant you launch that thing in Mission Bay or something? You really gotta run it under load before you haul it all the way to BOLA.
