Greetings

I went to water test my boat first time this year and I noticed a fuel leak from area highlighted in picture. Looks like the carburetor. I think it's coming from the seams.

Engine started ok and also ran but i turned off once I noticed leak.

its a $1 gasket (a pack of 6 bowl and metering block gaskets for like $10)

suggest you pull the carb off and determine is it the metering block gasket or the bowl gasket.

Thanks. Is there a way to find out the carburetor model so I can buy the correct metering block gasket and bowl gasket? I have a 3.0 GLP-E

Thanks! Is it simply just popping it out undoing the 4 bolts?

If you can share a how to video or link that will be great.

Now is where you go out and google how to dissassemble a holley 4150 and go thru it, and not the wrong stuff in you tube. Go to Holleys web site and look for yourself. Additionally Jeff Smith has articles on it
