[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 475253, member: 3278"] [size=5]Somewhere back in the archives I wrote about leaving the fuel line attached to an engine. Never know when the needle and seat will start leaking. This would really be dangerous if you leave your boat/engine in a hot garage. Think about it. On this subject.... Do yourself a favor and pump up the primer bulb and look at the red lever area on the primer solenoid. Cycle the primer as well while the primer bulb pressure is against the primer assembly. Check for a cracked cap or a leaky o-ring on the lever. Fairly common since most of these engines are at least three decades old now. [/size] [/QUOTE]
