I am new to this forum.
I just bought my first outboard motor(1967 6hp johnson seahorse).
After it runs for about 1 minute, it will die.
I opened top cover and found some fuel on the edge of the gasket which located on the top of float chamber.(not sure where those fuel come from)
Then I started motor again and I found after it ran for a while, some air bubbles appeared in "fuel pump to carburetor" hose(seems coming from carburetor side). After more air came in, fuel stopped pass through hose then motor died.
I think it should have somewhere leaking in carburetor, but not sure which part.
I just want to get some ideas how can I locate the leaking before I take the whole carburetor apart.
Thanks.
