I have a 60 HP Mercury, 2 stroke outboard. I put the boat in the water, the motor wouldn't fire up. (I had the motor running and in gear on muffs 3 days before I put it in the water) Then I looked behind the motor and there was gas leaking continuously into the water.
I pulled it out of the water, and I squeeze the bulb (which stays firm) and gas starts to leak out of the engine prop.
The motor compartment is completely dry. I have replaced all my fuel lines (inside and out) , fuel pump, new gas, rebuilt carburetors, new spark plugs. There is however a small amount of black oily liquid that tends to drip out of the prop after I run it.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
