[QUOTE="marlattrr, post: 482366, member: 13534"] I'm not even pumping the ball. I will take the advice and throw away the muffs. Everything i see online shows that the only cause for overflowing would be the float needle not seating. It looks like its seating, the needle is brand new and the float is set correctly. I'm going to try to set the valve clearance. I havent done that since i owned the motor. Maybe that is contributing to the start issues and then fuel is just dumping out of the overflow because its not igniting? The mercury 20 hp is actually made by tohatsu. So its a tohatsu 20hp.
