Re: 1990 Force 120 Carb bowl leaking.
Good question Rendog3,<br /><br />I am curious to see what everyone's take on this is. I had what sounds like a similar problem, when I cleaned out my fuel bowl last summer. (boat sat for a year with gas in it prior to me buying it) I ended up with a leak that was actually from where the bolt meets the fuel bowl to attach it to the carb. I thought the leak was from the bowl gasket, which I changed and I still had the problem. Changed the washer on the bowl out for a rubber one and my leak went away. I noticed before that when pumping the fuel line, the bulb would get hard, but I could still pump it. Now that the leak is fixed, I noticed that I can pump it about 3 - 4 times and no more. <br /><br />I would fix it because I noticed two problems with the leaky bowl, first, after an afternoon run, I would have fuel and 2 stroke all over the bottom of the inside of the motor, secondly my motor has the spark control sitting under the carb assembly! a dangerous situation as well as potentially damaging to my motor.
