Having trouble with gas dripping out of the carbs with the motor tilted up will trailering. It's not much but was wondering if anyone is having or had this issue. The floats are set in the correct height according to the manual. I have replaced the bowl gasket hopping this would help, it did alittle but still not stopped completely. Also if the motor is trimmed up for a long period of time while I'm on the water it's alittle hard to start. You can smell gas pretty bad and the motor acts like its flooded but after about 2 trys of cranking it she'll fire right up. After that, couldn't ask for a better running motor.

Sounds normal to me.
Tilted up,the floats change position and allow the carbs to drain.
Everytime you tilt it you might need to re-prime and use the choke.
