noob needs help with mileage - only 10 MPG!

I had a 225 with no visible gas leaks, turned out the fuel pump diaphragm was bad and leaking into the oil pan. A lot. Might want to smell inside the oil filler cap. 10 mpg is pretty bad unless you're mud bogging

This just happened to me, glad I caught it right away :coffee2:
Artex pumps was all I could find locally and I was determined not to
put another one on, I am home awaiting my new carter to show up on the mail.
