1984 V150 could this be the problem? Lubedude

After running on the lake yesterday I hooked it up on the hose and found a fuel leak on the side of the block. Its comeing from a long plastic plug that goes in side of the block with a o-ring on it.With the motor runnig I shot a squirt of WD-40 at it and stalled the motor.So its leaking gas a sucking air.Any thoughts? Thanks Joe

Pull it out and put a dab of silicone around the flange to seal it.

HI,Guys I tryed to find a new o-ring. Couldn't find one that fit right so I cleaned the flange real good and put a thin coating of silicone on it.Started it up no leaks. I was told that the fuel pumps are worked off vacume. With this leaking gas and sucking air is this why it would act like it was running out of gas at WOT,and if I pulled the throttel back it would pick back up and keep running.I haven't had a chance to go to the lake and try it out yet. Thanks Joe

Where is this plug you are talking about? Which side, location, and what does it specifically look like..?

Hi KC, The plug im talking about is the long plastic one that goes in side the block near the throttel and timeing linkage.Its about 4 to 5 inches long with a o-ring about 1 1/2 inch down from the top,has 2 small screws holding it in.Thanks Joe
