ok so ive been tring to get this old 60hp running and i think im pretty close had no spark so i changed the points and condenser now got good spark, made a new wiring harness for engine.
now when i first start to crank the motor it almost starts but then fuel runs out the bottom of the motor while cranking but no longer tring to start.
has anyone else had this problem,know how to fix?

thanks

Where is the fuel coming from, pump, broken hose, carb?

Float adjustment is wrong or bad needle and seat.

did you do the "blow through fuel line with the carb, upside down"? sounds like float needle issues to me.
