Thread: New Problem - Fuel Coming Out of Front Fuel Vent

Tweet

Take the wooden handle of a hammer and lightly rap on the front bowl of the carb to see if it will unseat the float, assuming that is what you have.

In shipping sometimes they get stuck. We always had to do that to outboard motors we sold because the floats always stuck on brand new, out of the box motors.

It's a Holly 600. I'll try the hammer thing since it got moved around a couple of times before I got it back on. I'll report back in a few minutes...

If not, how do I check for the other potential problems?
