    Default Fuel problem


    My Merc 9.8 has suddenly developed a problem that I can't solve. It starts, runs for 5 sec. and dies. Fuel pours out of the carb throat. LOTS of fuel! If I squeeze the bulb more gas runs out. Any ideas?

    Might as well change the gaskets and needle and seat while you're at it.
