I have a small leak from the underside of both my carbs from where the throttle tube sticks out, it's not much but will this be a problem, the motor seems to run fine otherwise?<br /><br />Mercury 650 1975 3cylinder
This is probably not a "quality" answer.But Merc carbs tend to leak.Make sure the leakage is not from being tilted up for trailering.Make sure it's not because of the first couple runs of the season.<br />Then rebuild the carbs,using gasket kits AND needle and seats.<br />DHP
Sorry I should have stated that the fuel leaks from those two rods (only a few drops) imediately after the motor is shut down. It does not leak there before or during but as soon as it is shut off. Every time also.<br /><br />Also I just rebuilt the carbs and according to the manual there was no looseness of the throttle rods/shutters so the manual said not to do anything to the them. But now I wander if I should have replace some kind of washer or seal there.
