I have owned this engine since new, it has done 452Hrs, it is in great condition according to my mechanic.
It has developed a problem in the last year or so which is, after running the motor either with the muffs, or in the sea, when I tilt it up to tow it or store it, there is fuel dripping out of the front of the engine.
We have replaced all the fuel lines, and replaced the needle valves as well as rebuilding the carbs, and still no joy.
I can not make it happen by priming the motor, and then tilting it.
My mechanic has now given up and is suggesting that I upgrade, but the rest of the engine is great, and it runs really well.
Hope you can shine some light on this problem for me
