A fellow CSR member has a Tohatsu 20 horse outboard on his 10 foot dink. Lately it has been running rich and stalling when power is reduced to idle at neutral and stumbling in mid range power . We noticed too that there is a strong smell of raw fuel and a sheen on the water after the engine quits. We traced the fuel to the hose attached to the bottom of the fuel bowl. Does anyone know what condition would cause fuel to drain from there? Clearly its by design to overboard the fuel but would it be a mixture adjustment or a float valve leaking past? Ideas?
Thanks
