carb. leaking

[lugnuts]

hi guys. i have a 1988 force 125. it has 2 carbs. i notice that the bottom carb. drips gas i don`t think it happens all the time,or just when it`s running. i also notice that it will drip for a short while after i`ve trailered the boat and have the motor tilted up. does any one know what would cause this? it`s been going on i think for a few yrs! THANKS>

Re: carb. leaking

Dripping gas is a 2 strokers everyday problem.
When you tilt the motor it's gonna run out the carb.
Dripping gas while it's running,the reeds might be bad?
Does it do it when you squeeze the ball?

Re: carb. leaking

no. it`s only the bottom one. i don`t think it leaks when under power. it seems to run very well. BY THE WAY. I DECARBED THE MOTOR THE WAY YOU GUYS INSTRUCTED ME ON THIS POST. I USED SEA FOAM SPRAY. IT RUNS BETTER THAN EVER. THAT WAS THE FIRST I EVER DID IT !!! THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION.
