87 Evinrude 48hp Spitting out of top idler adjuster screw

[Paulrd27]

I have an 87 Evinrude 48 spl. I have put carb kits in and changed the plugs. Also changed the fuel pump/filter. Runs good but it spits out the top idle adjuster screw. Its only the top carb that's doing it, bottom carb isn't spitting. Anyone have any suggestions on what I could do?

You lost me. How can fuel spit out of an idle adjuster screw??

That's an idle air bleed screw. Is the float level set correctly in the carb ??

Sorry to revive an old thread but my 1988 johnson 50 is doing that at idle out of both carbs
