SportwinDude,
Is this the tiny hole you’re talking about that’s leaking gas?
I took this photo when I had my carb off. The outboard is
now together so I can’t inspect the carb further.
I’m not sure what the hole is for, but I gotta think that your
float and needle is not actually doing it’s job.
Did you try blowing thru the fuel inlet with the carb inverted,
and hence float needle shut, to see if it’s sealing?
Did you perhaps blow any of the internal rubber parts across
the garage when using compressed air? (I’m guilty of that on
more than one occasion!)
