"When not in use, the motor mount is raised up out of the water and the motor is tilted forward probably 35-40 degrees from vertical. I normally have the fuel valve shut and the cap vent shut. Today I noticed that someone had placed oil absorbant rags around the cowling and the fuel tank was dry. It looks like I left the cap vent open. Is it possible for the fuel to "gravity" drain if the fuel valve and cap vent are not shut? Does that create a "hydraulic lock" to prevent leakage. Best I can tell, leakage is around the carb area."
