Thank you very much! And for the prompt replies!!
No. The port is cross drilled in the bottom of the carb
I'd rather be fishing.
Its fairly rare but floats can develop pin holes and get fuel inside of them and cause that problem.

I did as suggested in post #6. Also checked the float for fuel in it, it was good. Put back together, no leak! Was going to try starting tonight, storms rolled in. I'm off tomorrow, will try it then.
I also replaced the water jacket gasket, curious as to how that goes.
Again, thanks to all for the replies !

If I can give a plug to marineengine.com. From the time I placed the order (for the water jacket gasket) till I received it, was 2 or 3 days. Standard shipping.
