Fired up the old Merc on the first try, ran it for a couple of minutes, then gas started leaking from one of the carbs, [dripping] down. Has anyone had a problem like this.. Jay
Thank you in advance...

Sounds like a stuck float. Did you try tapping the bowl on the carb in question with a screwdriver? May just be a stuck needle

Do you mean the little needle on the bottom? Looks all most like it might be flowing out the needle.

If its sat for 6 months or more, carb may need to come apart and have the rotten gas removed. About the only thing that cuts that **** is engine tuner.[xx(]

THe thing on the bottom of the float is just a bolt to hold the bowl on. Just rap the side of the bowl a cople times with a screwdriver, once it frees up and fresh fuel goes through, you may be ok. Otherwise, IFL is right, apart the carb comes.
