TD-20 Leaking when Priming

[ali.stefanik]

Hi everyone! I am working with a group of teen girls in Philly, teaching them marine systems at a small maritime museum. Someone recently donated a Johnson Seahorse TD-20 to us and we're working together to get her running again.

When we went to attempt a start and we primed the engine, fuel leaked from the location circled in the picture. I searched through the forum but couldn't find an answer about why this was happening. Any advice?

Thanks!

Ali

does it leak only while priming ?? does the engine start and run with no leaking ? if ok DO NOT OVERPRIME the low speed circuit

That is normal on that motor.
