    Fuel line connection on portable fuel tank for Evinrude 50 HP

    I posted earlier today about stalling problems with my Evinrude 50 HP. Me being a novice and all I am wondering if it has anything to do with the connection at the portable gas tank (tempo 6 gallon). On the tank I have the male Evinrude Johnson brass fitting.
