Hi,

I'm still on my quest to find my stall problem when in the water, works fine when on muffs. I posted a couple of topics 87 45hp mariner stall and leak, and impeller... Reuse.... I changed the impeller (which wasn't a problem, although it was a suggestion by a merc mechanic) and I got the tell tale working.... Never worked as far as I remember. In the past I changed the gas tank, and line, and I believe I may have found my gas leak..... It seems to be coming from the connection to the gas line on th? motor, but I don't know if it's in front, or behind (the leak). Is there just the one nut underneath holding it there, and what is behind there? Is it an easy fix/replacement? What should I look out for. Many thanx in advance.....

Allan
