mercury 110 9.8hp fuel leak

[mulloway30]

gday guys and gals this is my first post so here it go's ,excellent site by the way love the posts and the knowledge shared here its awesome..

a while ago my merc blueband 110 just stopped starting before this it never missed a beat and run all day even on idle.

I opened the cover and pulled started her i noticed that just before the bulb for the fuel prime was not as solid as usual.when i opened it and re-primed it fuel was spurting from the hole pictured in the photo i never took notice if this was a lost screw or plug in it before but regardless now it spurts out fuel both on priming and pull starting it.She wont start and the fuel leak is enough to make me worry does anyone know if this is a lost screw or plug or is it a more serious issue.




thanks all im a pensioner that if i can needs to fix it myself or wait months to save the cash

Thats the float bowl vent so your inlet needle is leaking or stuck, replace it.
