Johnson 9R-73B fuel leak

[Cooljp0007]

My grandpa gave me this outboard motor. Went and bought a pre assembled fuel line from Cabelas. When I prime the bulb I can hear it pressing air out at the fitting on the motor and it also squirts out fuel. Am I missing a gasket on the motor itself?

Often times it's a cheap fitting that comes on the fuel line or did you make sure it fits to a Evinrude?

I assume you pushed it all the way on until it clicked?

Yes, there is a seal in there.

It says for Evinrude and Johnson. Pushed it all the way to click. Am I missing a seal on the motor itself? Like a rectangular rubber seal that surrounds the 2 needles.

Top pin in pic is the latch pin to hold in place, bottom is fuel inlet, something in your pic doesnt look right.....Your fuel line plug is a cheapie, sorry but that is what many fuel lines come with nowadays. I always prefered the older cast metal ones which were rebuildable.

Any recommendation on replacing the fitting that attaches to the motor?

There is nothing missing on the motor.-----Replace fitting on the hose.

The fitting from the tank doesn't look new in the picture.

Anyhow, I've had problems with the aftermarket ones.

I agree.
If that pic is of a new part I would take it back.
It looks like it used to me.

Is there a place that is recommended to buy more of an OEM option?

Online or your Evinrude dealer....or whatever they call themselves now.
