I just bought a used 40 hp with 40 hrs. I had to store it for two months on correct side (laid down). I hope that was ok to do but after we got mounted on boat and let it sit for a while I turned it over and it cranked right up. There was good oil in it and when it was running fuel was leaking out under port side cowling out of black tube that appears to come from top of motor on top of fuel injection I assume. It looks like an overflow of some sort and it looks like a one way valve it just before end of hose leaking? Could storing motor on side for two months caused this? I only ran motor for 5 min and with fuel flowing out I shut it down.
So first should I run motor after being stored on side for 2 months or is there something I need to do first?
Is the fuel running out of hose going to clear it self up or do I have other issues?
