Reply With QuoteI don't have Merc., but even on my 'rude if there was gas squirting out around the carbs I'd be getting it fixed pronto one way or another. Heat from the motor and gas on it don't mix, fire hazard be careful !!

I would check the jumper lines between carbs first. One could have split in it letting it spray between carbs. You could get someone to pump bulb while you look and should be able to find it.

Going to need better details and perhaps pics to answer this question long distance.
I'd rather be fishing.
