just got done working my 62 super quiet 40hp over. now when I pump it up it leaks around the fuel hose to motor (not to bad just when the system is full) I see that the setiment bowl full and after it runs for 2-3 minutes on idel the bowl is almost empty. I just rebilt the pump last summer. is this normal? Bob

The fuel bowl is only ever full when you pump fuel with the bulb, once the motor starts it will be 1/4 to 1/2 full at the most, perfectly normal.
