First I'll give you a little background information.
I pulled my boat out of storage for the first time in 5 years. I decided to change the water pump, gearcase fluid, clean the carbs, and change the fuel lines. When I got all the put back together I discovered 2 problems. The first was the 5/16th hose I was using was leaking on several conections even with ratchet clamps. The second was whenever I pumped the ball, gas would come out of the top carb. So I switched all the fuel lines to 1/4th and found that the cap you hammer into the carb came out.
Now whenever I turn off the motor some gas spills out of the top carb. While its running no gas comes out. Is this normal?
