Emptied the VST and cleaned and/or changed all of the filters. When I pumped the bulb to fill everything back up, I gave it a good squeeze to make sure. The next time I tilted the motor up, fuel came out of one of the weeps on the lower cowling. Maybe a teaspoon.

I thought I might have spilled some fuel while changing everything. Cleaned it all up and tried it again, same thing.

I cannot see where it is coming from but it seems to be towards the stern, near the upper exhaust that comes out of the lower cowling as it looks like it pools in the back before heading forward. However, everything fuel related seems to be towards the front of this area.

Any ideas? Am I just forcing fuel out somewhere by squeezing too hard that won't be a big deal when the engine is running (I'm not holding out hope for this theory)?

Thanks,
Adam
