There is no panel to remove to take the tank out and I would have to cut a flat deck and hope I'm cutting where it has to be cut. Not to mention that it will look like total crap when glued and filled back in.
I'm realty hoping that there is a screen on the end of the pick up tube or I'm...
Just following up,
Hooked up the portable tank upstream from the primer bulb so I would have 2 in there. Both bulbs got soft but did not empty and I ran the boat at idle for 45 minutes without so much as a hick-up.
Issue has to be the tank pickup tube and probably gunk in the tank clogging...
I'm trying to do as much BPR parts as I can but some things are just not out there. I've seen kits on Amazone with a wide range in pricing but I think the difference is just the person selling the kits. I'll have to look at the pulse fitting.
No but 88 refereed to posts 3 & 4 where it said to change out the bulb. And it was mentioned in post #11 that it was done with no change. Fuel pump is $600 so I just didn't want to change that out just for trying.
I was thinking of pulling the tube this off season cause nobody could give me...
Yeah, it was tested by the marina mechanic where I keep the boat and I pulled it so I could bring it up the creek to Evinrude guy. The Evinrude guy has a great reputation and when he said the fuel pump was tested to be fine I believe him. That's not to say that in a month that it couldn't have...
The compression is 100psi +- 1 or 2 psi. I'll have to test this with the 6 gallon tank for my 20 Merc when I feel a little better. So you think it might be the fuel pump?

I didn't pull that pickup tube yet but couldn't get a straight answer from anyone if there was a screen at the end or not. Tried multiple time contacting moeller but they never returned my calls or emails.
I haven't found water in the fuel yet. Nothing collects in the...
Been under the weather this week so I havnt done much. I swapped out the primer bulb with no difference observed. I even ran the boat with the fuel cap cracked open and no difference.
This summer the carbs were rebuilt, all fuel lines from the tank to the fuel pump were replaced and I...
Carbs were rebuilt by me and then an Evinrude Johnson mechanic. BPR kits were used both times and mechanic an ultrasonic cleaner. He is good and would trust him with any work.
Since the motor has been ruled out I’m pretty sure I’m asking about the fuel related system. Fuel cap to the primer bulb. I’m looking to find out what in the fuel system would cause a fuel starvation at low rpm, but not at higher rpm’s.
I was going to but I have a feeling this isn't motor related. Had the mechanic at the Marina (Mercury Guy) look at it back in August for a non-running issue. Then I pulled the boat and brought it to my Evinrude guy that rebuilt the carbs and tested the ignition and fuel pump.
Yesterday it...
