I have an 1981 Johnson 7.5 and today when I tried to prime it, lots of gas leaks out at the connector as shown in the picture. Note that I don’t have this issue using the same hose on my Johnson 25hp. Also, I triples checked that the connection was tight and felt the click. Please give me some pointers to fix this issue. Thanks.

I found the culprit. It’s the clamp behind the fuel connector inside the cover that was getting loose. Now I want to replace the fuel line while I am at it. Could someone please tell me what fuel line to get and where to get it?
