Merc 125 Carb leaking gas
I have a 1999 125 Merc outboard, today when I was checking the boat out
before i took it out, I noticed that the bottom carb was leaking gas at a pretty good rate. The gas seemed to be coming out of the little brass vent pipe in the mouth of the carb. The engine ran fine, but the amount of gas dripping down from the carb prevented me from taking the boat out. Any suggestion as to what might cause this? Im thinking a sticking float. I havent started the boat for a month but the last time I did it was fine. Just curious is there a fuel injection conversion available for this engine? Thanks |

You can probably just tap the bowl on the carb a couple of times and solve the problem. Otherwise you will have to remove and clean the needle/seat.

Now shoo. |
