1999 40 ELPT, Ser # OE354368: Last week I took off the carb and cleaned it. I soaked it in carburetor cleaning solvent called Chem-Dip. This may have been overkill, but that's what I did. I replaced the float, needle jet, gaskets, and float pin. I have cleaned and replaced these parts before with only having to adjust the mixture, idle, and linkages to get it running well again. However, this was he first time I soaked the whole carb in cleaning solution. The motor won't start and it is doing something I've never seen before on any carburetor.
See attached photo. The arrow points to the location where when I crank the motor, gas will squirt out. It doesn't do it on the first crank. It squirts on the 3rd or 4th crank once gas has been pumped to the carb. Never had this happen before.
Could this be the Primer Nozzle that is bad or is some adjustment out of whack to make it squirt out of the hole. See Carburetor.pdf attached for item #13. Unfortunately, this part is no longer available.
