Getting ready for spring. put gas in tank, opened fuel valve, and gas started to pour out little hose hose on bottom of engine. Ideas????
 
Assuming you are talking about an MFS3.5B. Your carb needle is not seating, and the carb is flooding to the point that it is overflowing.
 
It is a MFS 3.5A. The number on the carb is 3BRAUC1. Tohatsu part # 3BR-03200-0. Should i just buy a new carb for about $150.00 or is there a fix i can do?
 
Clean the carb. Verify the needle and seat are good. If necessary, get a new needle ("valve" in the parts catalog) is about $10. Done.
 
A quick update. took carb to friend. he sonic washed/cleaned. reassembled and still gas pouring out. ordered new card/gaskets. should be here midweek.more to come
 
Installed new carb and hose from gas tank to shut off valve. Problem fixed!! Looking forward to a fun filled summer in the dingy
