    Default Gas leak


    OK< I have a 2002 90 horse mercury 2 stroke, 3 cylinder...I have a gas leak,,but can't tell where its coming from..thinking of replacing all the gas lines, from tank to carburator, with hopefully some that are immune to this stinking stuff they sell for gasolene...........where would I buy the hoses for the lines under the cowl?

    I strickly buy nonethonol gas now,,but assuredly, it has had the other stuff in it....running great..but hate seeing the gas on the water...

    Sure it's not just oil since it is a two stroke?

    Don't think it might be coming from one of the floats sticking? If its coming from the carbs, it could also be a bad needle or dirty seat.

    Can u towel dry lines and then pump bulb to pressurize it and check for leak. I use seafoam and stabil in my gas to stabilize it.

    I'm deaf,,dang near blind,,and the block being glossy black, the sun hasn't made a appearance in days, its impossible to tell..I did put a hose clamp on one line on going away side of fuel filter, by squeezing bulb, I could make it leak there.

    Don't think its float sticking,,motor runs so smoothly,,hey but not NO Mechanic...lol
