1982 Evinrude E175TRXCNB, leaks fuel at primer solenoid.

So, I got an Evinrude 175 to put on my 1980s Aquasport 222. I have it on a stand and got it started today, just to hear it run before I put it on the boat (probably in the spring). It dripped a little fuel from the primer solenoid. Looked like it was coming from around the manual valve. Anybody got any experience with that?

Install a new o-ring / repair kit.----Simple job.

Sierra makes a nice kit with new cover, diaphragm, o-ring and valve. PN not handy at the moment, but just ordered one. About 15-20bucks.
