Wondering if anyone has had this happen- I keep my 9.9 kicker in the stowed position (about 45 degree angle) when traveling on the water and started smelling gas - when I removed the cover it was spewing out the air box - I was thinking maybe the carb float could have stuck- but maybe its something else?? then I got it started ran it on full throttle for a couple minutes- then I cruised around - now its not doing it - this happened twice - any help is appreciated

Its the float Martin. Clean it out and should be good to go. This has also happened to Ol' Slopper.
