I have a 15hp Yamaha 2-stroke and it
leaks fuel where the fitting on the end of the hose from the tank connects to the fitting on the
engine. It seems the fitting on the
engine has a little metal rod in the center of it that pushes the ball in the hose fitting to open it when you connect the two. However, the rod can move side to side and sometimes pushes on the
gasket behind the ball in the hose fitting. This cuts the
gasket and allows
fuel to leak out between the two fittings. At least I think this is what the problem is.
Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it. I have replaced both fittings several times to no avail.
