    225 Promax idle issues

    hello yall new guy on the block

    i have a 2004 225x promax 0t819312 on my 98 champion 221dc bassboat
    my idle is high = 800 should be 650
    in looking through my service manual
    its says pulse pump could be leaking
    or vapor separator could be over flowing
    or fuel could be entering the the manifold
    runs good but does load up on some extended idle time through the stumps
    800 rpm makes it shift hard
    also it looks like there is some fuel seaping up through the oil seal on top
    and ideas on which one to start with

    thanks for any help you can give
    scott

    800 RPM in NEUTRAL, or IN GEAR? Big difference....

    If you see a leak at the upper crank seal, that will need to be addressed FIRST.
