Are you using the same gas tank for both the barrel test and the lake test?
Been 50 years since I’ve seen a quick connect for outboards so remind me please? A pipe for fuel and a pipe for vent, correct? I will look it up also.
How about a tiny hole in the fuel pump diaphragm? Just enough to pass air bubbles into the bowl with the fuel delivery? That would account for running good, needle and seat okay, fuel oozing and streaming out the vent after shut off, right? No?
Can’t wait to see the cure…
