Some forum readers may recall a posting I made recently, noting that my 225 hp outboard had stalled at idle and then wouldn't start.<br /><br />Also, that when trimming the motor to look at the prop that a little gas fell out of the engine into the boat's transom well.<br /><br />I was worried, but problem solved: Mechanic says one of the engine carbs was missing a screw and the engine was running on five cylinders. With engine trimed up, gas in the "loose" carb leaked.<br /><br />The missing screw had probably shaken loose over time, he said.<br /><br />Thanks for your postings. See you in the forum.
