Hey Guys,
I've got a strange problem on my hands... my engine runs perfectly, starts easily without and coaxing, ramps up, idles low. All that good stuff however... When I shut the engine off, gas leaks out and into the water. I noticed it about 2 weeks ago and have only used the engine twice since then but it has happened every time. This engine is on a commuter boat so its very important that i keep it running well also I will be escorting in the Nanaimo bathtub races so i need to fix this pretty soon races are in 2 weeks. I am great at fixing stuff but I am really lacking in the diagnosing department. If you guys need anything to aid in figuring out what the problem is like, a picture, a video or a description of something, I'm you're guy... Any ideas???
Please no suggestions of taking it to a mechanic I'm only 17 and can't afford a repair bill right now.
