[QUOTE="eclipse507, post: 201221, member: 5493"] First off..........Is it normal for a little fuel to squirt out the side of the carb, when pushing the choke in and out?? I'm not sure if that will make sense??......When you press the choke in, it presses a plunger down on the carb. There is a small hole, on the outside of the part of the carb with the plunger in it, and when i pull out the choke, it squirts a small amount of fuel out of that hole. Second i noticed a milky almost carmel substance on the side of the motor, under the cowel. When looking at the motor from the back, it is on the left side. Its not wet, but more sticky. It was there when i bought the motor, and i was finally able to get the boat out for the first time today. It is on the cover on that side of the motor,and appears to have leaked out at somepoint. I changed the gear case oil, and that was clean.......I beleve that is the exhaust side of the motor but not sure. I am new to out boards, so any help would be great! [/QUOTE]
