1993 Intruder leaking gas

[tnsportsman86]

I put my boat in the water this morning when I started it up I noticed gas all on the water I took off the motor cowl off and noticed gas leaking around a black tube that ran into the port side top carburetor once the motor got warm it did not leak the rest of the day I took it off when I got back on the ramp it is a nipple with two O-rings that slide into the carburetor first question is what is this thing the second question is how can I fix it and what would cause it to leak I will post my model and serial numbers in just a moment thanks for your help also will try to post a picture of the tube

guess needs new O rings? they do get old n crack from age

[Bassmeister]

That is the fuel rail that carries fuel to the carbs from bottom to top.

[ChampioNman]

Replace all 6 O rings.

[tnsportsman86]

Champion where are all 6 when I pulled off top nipped I only saw 2

[tnsportsman86]

Nvm champion I found them do you know what size o ring it is and also there is another fuel tail that runs into the carb to the right of the one leaking should I also change them

When you replace those O-rings drop the motor pan to get to the bottom fitting. That fuel manifold breaks real easy. The new rings will be brown, ethanol resistant. Up to you on that balance tube, they don't seem to cause a lot of problems. Just as well do both fuel manifolds while you at it.

How do I drop the motor pan?

[ChampioNman]

Look at the under side of the pan there is one where the pan curves down , one on the rear,and one each patch front and back

[tnsportsman86]

Ok got the motor pan dropped. I decided to replace all 12 O-rings since both sides seems to be leaking a little bit. I will get the parts this afternoon. I checked for cracks in the fuel rail both seems good. For the most part the O-rings looked good. If there is leakage around them could this be the only reason is the O-rings even though they are not cracked? One or two did seems to have a gray film peeling of them.

[ChampioNman]

You'll know when you put them in.

If the old ones are black, they are not ethanol resistant. Lightly coat the o-rings with oil when installing them, they will slip in better.

Jug this may sound stupid but does it matter what kind of oil?

[185er]

doesnt matter

185er is correct, but I would not use 3in1 it's a different based oil.

[tnsportsman86]

Got it all back together the o rings went on the manifold easy but it was a little harder than I expected to slide the nipples back into the carbs I guess because they were new going to take it to the lake tomorrow to make sure of no more leaks thanks for the help guys

[tnsportsman86]

No leaks can't even smell gas now thanks for everything until next time lol
