So this will be the first time working on my engine and not just taking it to a boat mechanic. I guess it's about time I start learning and this should be a rather simple fix! My fuel line assembly top gasket has gone bad and needs to be replaced. I'll link a pic in case my terminology is bad. When I prime the line it's squirts out of the side of the casing so therefore sucks air into the line when I run it. Problem is I have no idea where to buy that specific of parts?? Any help?

I'm not sure where the leak is by looking at the pic. But the red knob is part of your enrichener system. And It's partially opened as pictured. Meaning your motor will be running rich.
I'd rather be fishing.
If the leak is anywhere around the red pointer, look closely at the cover, I have replaced a ton of these with hairline cracks in them causing leaks. If that is the gasket you want to change be very careful when doing so as the primer has a white plastic rod inside that is spring loaded and if you don't get everything lined up before putting the screws back in the rod can be broken then you spend about $140 and buy a compete new primer solenoid

Leak is on the square black box with the sticker on it. It's leaking when I use primer bulb and enough pressure builds up that gas comes out of the section that is screwed down on it, which I assume is a leaky gasket
Would I need to go to a boat mechanic shop to request the part or is there a way to order gaskets online? I'm a newbie at this =/
