carby leaking fuel

[marine11]

I have a mariner 70hp its a 81 model, every time it is running it is leaking fuel from the carby, i cant get to the carby to see where it is comeing from though, i will have to ake it all apart to find out, does it sound like i have to do the gaskets on it.

Time to rebuild it using new gaskets and especially needle and seat. Also check the float to make sure it isn't leaking or soaking up fuel. Check the float level when re-assembling.
