Hello to everyone,
I have a question on my 88 SPL V-4 Evinrude model# E88MSLCER concerning my carbs. I rebuilt my carbs a few weekends ago and cranked her over and she ran good. Today I went out to my garage and puled the front air silencer cover off and pumped up the fuel bulb until it got tight and snugged up. I noticed when I removed the silencer cover that there was a little bit of fuel/oil mixture in the bottom of both carb throats, is that normal becuase that was how it was before the carb rebuild also. Let me know. Thanks again, Bob

To clear up confusion, there was only a residue of fuel/ oil mixture not a puddle just like something like a light dew if I am making any sense to you. It was just a residue of oil/fuel mixture on the bottom of both carb throats.
