I can start it up in my driveway (with the hose hooked up), and it runs fine. I can start it at launch, and go across the lake, just fine.
But just try to restart it and keep it running...it just won't start up or stay running. Eventually, I can get it going...and if I can get it going, I can keep it running...at least until I have to start it again. But something isn't right.
When it happens, the bulb in the fuel line goes flat...am I not getting enough fuel through for some reason?
My initial reaction is to try a new/different fuel line between the tank and the motor, to see if that is the problem.
Any other experiences or suggestions to help me out? Thanks in advance...
I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:
JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th
Brianf. – March 28th
Bobberwatcher – April….
MikeG3Boat – April 10th
SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st
Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.
