Author	Topic:   Fuel leak at connector.
Drmorison	posted 08-11-2014 04:08 PM ET (US)         I have been having a few problems starting my 1993 Johnson tracker 40hp. I noticed that sometimes when I prime the bulb, fuel squirts out of the place where the fuel line connects to the engine. If I fiddle with the quick release connector (I detach it and then reattach it and then wiggle it around) then the leak deems to go away and the engine starts right up. Is this common? Is the connector bad? Thanks!
