wily Posted February 15, 2020 Author Posted February 15, 2020 Fuel pump is pretty cheap part...I think I could replace it. Might try replacing it and the hose...and see what happens Will keep you posted....thanks again for the help fishinwrench 1
wily Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 I hear ya...I saw one fuel pump that had 3 lines coming out of it that said it fit the motor...not sure what I’d do with the third line??? where would you buy the parts? what Do you think about this picture...everything look ok? Looks kind of grimy
fishinwrench Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Some models have a separate vacuum nipple. Yours gets its vacuum via the back mounting area (pill shaped gasket). They sell a fuel pump rebuild kit, but those pumps are kinda fiddly.....just replace the pump. www.marineengine.com for parts. As for the pic....looks like a carb 😎. The remote idle mixture link rod is on the wrong side (should be going straight up instead of slanted off to the side). Just pull the white plastic bushing straight off, flip the outer knob to the other side, and realign it. wily 1
wily Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 I opened gas cap some thinking tank was venting correctly and it ran for about 15 minutes...kind of coughing and sputtering some...but ran then it died and wouldn’t restart...so I opened the choke it would start...run for a second and then die couldnt get it to start without the choke...Any ideas?
wily Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 You can see carbon build up...where it like backfires
wily Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 Is this supposed to be an air filter? Looks like crap
wily Posted February 16, 2020 Author Posted February 16, 2020 I got the fuel pump and lines off....lines seem ok but will replace the fuel pump is hard to blow thru so think it might be clogged
fishinwrench Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 The backfiring is probably a lean sneeze. Open up the idle mixture screw 1/4 - 1/2 turn and if that doesn't fix it then the carb needs to be cleaned, and float level reset. As I said before..... it needs the entire fuel system serviced. That is just a carb cover, doesn't really function as a filter. It has foam in it to capture fuel droplets and hold them while they evaporate. Just blow any excess oil out of it.
