Compression 145-155 on all cylinders. Tune up done two years ago. Engine has just under 400 hours with the entire top end rebuilt. its noticeable when its warm and at operating temperature.

So the guy states that it was checked out by his local marina and they cant seem to figure out why there is gas coming out the thru hull exhaust. Could the ECU be bad seeing as its a EFI motor? Bad injectors? bad regulator? Im stumped. Apparently the marina said that its fine and to keep running the motor. Id be afraid of washing the cylinders down with fuel and spinning out the bottom end.
