Older 8hp 4 stroke

[Scubadoo72]

Hey all, I have an older 8hp HOnda outboard that seems to be taking on gasoline into the leg?? What could cause this? and is there somewhere I can see a parts breakdown of this motor?

Thanks!

Re: Older 8hp 4 stroke

First of all ,what do you mean by taking fuel into the leg?Are you dumping fuel in the waterway and making a slick?Is the carb flooding over when you squeeze the primer bulb?Any smokey startups or hard starting issues?Is the oil level correct[in the checkered area ]or is it even a lttle overfull?Help us all out with a little info and we can help you.
