What year/model is your motor?

[tashasdaddy]

what have you done, and checked? is this motor new to you? what makes you think, gas is not getting to carb, but fuel leaks from prop?

1996 spl,no fuel pumping through fuel filter..only when i squeeze the line bulb. When I turn the key to fire up engine notice fuel dripping out of prop area!

if fuel is leaking out of the prop area, it is either going thru the carbs, or you have a fuel line leak, and it's running down the motors leg. have you checked spark. are you activating the primer when trying to start. has anyone moved the red lever on the primer solenoid?

The motor was running fine! We were out fishing, moved to a couple of spots,the last spot we were at...couldn't get motor started!! Only thing different was high octane fuel that was in gas tank!!!

ok lets start at the beginning, check you spark, and compression, to get a base line. remove the fuel line going to the carbs, turn the motor over, you should get pulses of gas out of the line. if not suspect fuel pump. but check spark, compression, before going out a buying parts.
