Post gas dumping out air cleaner
Took out the boat today (32hp pd) and it ran good for about 1 minute and idled fine.when i took off from the landing it began spitting and sputtering real bad as soon as i got to full throttle.so i checked the fuel ball and gas began pouring out the air cleaner with a hissing noise from in the carb. I haven't really looked into it yet but if someone could point me in the right direction it could save me some time and it would be much appreciated.and i do use shitty ethanol which is about all thats readily available nearby.thanks

Yank the carb and clean it compleetly including the needle and seat attached to the float as well as jets. Likely you got crap in there. Inspect your fuel lines cause the ethenol in todays fuel can cause havoc on them especially if it has been setting a while.
