Fuel connector leak

[redcat]

Hi All,

I have a 1975 Johnson 15hp bought used. I used a brand new fuel connector to fire it up the first time and it seems to devielop a fuel leak at the connector when you prime it with the bulb. After it starts it does not leak. I inspected the motor side of the connector and it does not have a rubber on that part of the connector. Is it missing one? Any help is greatly appriciated.

Thanks Ron

No rubber on the motor side part. Does the commector seem to fit otherwise? There are look-alikes for other motors that do not fit (loose and sloppy). If it is the right one and leaks, take it back.
