58 FI problem
Hi,
When cranking gas comes out through the vent brass screen on top of fuel bowl?
I do not have a lot of experience with these units so I am looking for some input, the unit is a 900R.
Thanks
AE

This could be that the needle and seat themselves need to be replaced or it could be that the float has developed a leak (such that it sinks instead of, well, "floating").
Either way the FI unit needs work and you shouldn't try running the engine until it's been repaired.
