Hi All:
In troubleshooting another issue, I discovered that my carbs appear to be leaking fuel when the motor is running. I can see it seeping out and collecting on the carb bodies, although I can't see exactly where it's coming from.
It's not so bad that fuel is collecting in the motor housing and dripping out, but there is a sheen of fuel covering most stuff in the vicinity of the carbs. The motor seems to start and run normally.
I'm supposed to take the boat on a trip for a week this Friday, but this has me concerned. I assume I need to rebuild the carbs, but can't get it done before I leave.
Should I just leave the boat behind, or are leaking carbs not that big of a deal until they get really bad.
I've had the boat since new and have never done anything with the carbs.
Thanks!
