While starting the motor to test for voltage from the stater I noticed fuel coming from the top carb while cranking.

Whats the fist step ???

Re: Fuel from carb

If you mean gas is leaking out the top of the carb then either the float is not adjusted correctly or more likely the seat is shot and the carb needs to be rebuilt. You should get a carb kit if you are going to take it apart. Some kits come with instructions and some a service manual will walk you through. Looks like the carb kit you need is FK10103-2 and costs about $53. Inlet needle and seat is FK10107and cost about $12 dollars. You can see if mercury has one but I doubt it. Try Dennis Kirk or google the part numbers

If you had your intake cover off, it is not unusual to see fuel coming from the carb at low speed. The reeds are not effective check vavles as low rpm.
