I thought it was doing loads of fuel!!

just on tickover I've discovered a leak on the evinrude, under the carbs behind the VRO pump - its peeing out somewhere and just disappearing down the powerhead tray and down the leg - not good! spanners out!

its shaking a bit as the steering arm isnt connected to the cable incase you were wondering

Get some sikaflex shoved on it. Worked for my priming bulb

took off air box, the centre carburettor feed pipe had perished, it didnt look it visually but was of a different type than the other 2, with like a woven nylon outer, anyway it was leaking like a sieve! replaced with a nice new rubber pipe and zipped tied up, now alls well and tight as a nut, running well - and more importantly a dry power head tray inside!
