OK, I'm confused. Your first post so we need more info. Motor type, size, carb type, etc. would be helpful. And if you plan to hang around you may want to intro yourself and show us picutures.

The bowl will assume a static level - 3/4 full doesn't mean it's leaking there.
My 48 has always required full choke when cold until it starts. Likely the carb leaking down if you're not seeing leaks on the outside.

Oh, btw welcome!
