My old 175 two stroke never peed on muffs after I replaced the water pump but worked fine on the water and with the motor in a tank. I only flush my current F150 in a tank (96gal trashcan) just make sure the water level is as high as possible above the water pump. For some reason this motor is...
Have you checked the fuel filter, 2 stroke oil level? What condition is the fuel primer bulb when the motor acts up? Is it collapsed or normal? Try pumping the bulb when the motor starts to run bad and opening the gas cap. Can it be the motor is starving for gas as the bow rises as it gets on...
All good information above. check compression, oil/fuel mix, water pump replacement. If possible I'd start it in a tank where the water level is higher than the water pump. Hope it's starts and runs well for you, let us know what happens.
"The only button toggles between auto and manual. When I flip that switch I hear the pump start up in the bilge area" That's because the switch is for the bilge pump. Find your bait pump. Trace the input hose from the tank. Is there an intake screen on the bottom of the boat? " If I open the...
That's an old classic meter, I have'nt seen one of them since I was studying electronics in the late 70's. It should work but a digital meter is better and more accurate. I'm not sure what you're measuring, if it's a fast voltage spike the meter may not be able to respond quick enough.
Why are you replacing the fuel gauge and sender? If you were having a problem with them what was the problem? Have you confirmed the fuel tank is grounded? When you measured 12v on the sender where did you have the neg lead? Did you have it on the tank, that's if it's a metal tank?
Do you know how old the impeller/pump is? You may have already fried it but if you don't know how old it is you may want to replace it anyway. Next time run the motor in a tank like a trash can where the water level is above the pump level. Also you can shove a stiff wire in the pee hole to make...
