Got my free motor running yesterday. Runs great but is leaking fuel only when running. Not leaking from carb, pump, filter bowl or fuel lines. leaks into lower cowl on starboard side and down to lower unit. seems to be wet under stator plate but do not see a stream of fuel leaking down. I have checked the lower fitting on the bypass tube but it stiil could be that I suppose. Any ideas?

Check the diaphram in your fuel pump, Mike. If it leaks it can dump excess fuel into the crankcase.

Thank you for your reply. How do I Check it ,I would hate to disassemble.Because I haven't found a rebuild kit, Or could I take it apart and just clean and snug it up.
Thanks Mike.
