So probably a silly question.... I have rebuilt the carb on my 56 evinride 15 HP. It ran fine all last year and on my second trip out this year I noticed gas squirting out of a hole in the top left side of the carb when I primed the fuel tank and it wouldn't start. I figured it was flooding the motor something was wrong so I would just rebuild it. After I cleaned and reassembled it, it still has fuel squirting out the hole but not all the time, just when it gets under pressure. It has the dual line pressure tank. Is this normal, like some kind of overflow protection? It does not seem normal to me and I never noticed it before. It ran today but I had to let it sit for a while priming it so I figure I flooded it again? This is only my second carb rebuild so I don't really know what I'm doing.
