EXCESS FUEL?? ?? ... boy, now THERE'S a term from a different time
I thought all outboards used excess fuel. If you look at an outboard when it's running you will usually see a stream of the excess fuel shooting out the side or back through what is commonly called the pee or piss hole but I believe that the correct term is "excess fuel letter outer" or something like that. Like Spare said this keeps the motor cool. A guy I know had his excess fuel letter outer stop working and sho' nuff his motor blowed up right after that. Those VX's must have two holes.
