I have an 87 merc 90horse 2 stroke. I had the cover off replacing plugs today. When I pump the fuel bulb fuel comes out of a brass plug that has a "weep hole" in it and also out of the throttle body itself. Happens on all three carbs but the top carb has twice the flow of the other two. This is in the throttle closed position. I assumed that it was from "over priming" with the bulb. I fired the motor, ran it for 30 seconds and shut it back down. Fuel STILL poured out of the "weep holes" and the throttle body. The motor was in a slightly raised postion, but was low enough that it was in the trim mode, and not the tilt mode.  This motor has run very well for a long time, and I have always noted that it would flood if you primed it and tried to start it in a highly tilted postion. Is this normal for this motor, am I an idiot operator, or is the some problem. It is a significant amount of fuel. Thanks.

If it is still running as strong as always, I don't see the issue.  Are you just wondering if it's "normal"?

So you're not a smoker then?  

I'm only concerned because once that fuel comes out, it just pourns down into my motor. I figure that probably isnt a good thing

Well you're definetely an idiot operator but beyond that I suspect I can lend nothing that will help.  

Is the gas actually coming out of the carb and running down the outside of the block? I had a similar problem in my little motor but it was coming out of the weep hole on the fuel filter and I figured out how to fix that one.
