I am not well aquainted with working on outboards. When I have the choke on the engine "open" I can see into the three carb barrels. There is a little tapered tube inside and I am not sure of it's name. The gasoline enters the carb here. On my engine while trying to start it drops of gasoline bubble out of the three tubes. Shouldn't there be more of a mist instead of drops. The engine won't start and I am trying to trouble shoot the problem.
The carbs are clean and so are the fine metal filters and gas lines.
There was however a "rubber" diaphragm/gasket that completly covered the back of each fuel pump that blocked the fuel from entering the motor and the adjacent fuel pump so I removed the rubber diaphragm leaving just the gasket. Not sure if this was the right thing to do.
Thanks
