When I tilt my outboard up, gas comes out of the hole on the carb. Port side of the boat. there is a blue plunger looking part that looks like the choke hits when engaged. Not sure why the gas dumps out of that hole. Never done it before. Am I ok to run it in the normal position? Only dumps out when I have the motor tilted. Please point me in the right direction.

Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
