    Went to lake motor cranked up cut off. Cranked up again went to put in gear and cut off. Then after I went to crank up it just turn but not fire up. Smelled gas took cowl off and when turn key gas is shooting out of the compressor hole from air filter hole. Any one know what happen to cause this?
