When I bought the motor, the dealer told me the hose hook up could be used instead of rabbit ears. I've since learned it is static only and that the motor should not be run on it. Never had an owner's manual.<br /><br />Anyhow, never had a problem running it this way, except til now. With the hose hook up and the motor running, get lot's of raw fuel coming out the lower end with the water. A drinking glass filled with what comes out leaves about 1/2 inch of fuel at the top of the glass !! Motor starts fine but sputters and dies as if losing fuel pressure. Squeezing the bubble doesn't build up pressure and seems to force the fuel into the water, even when motor not running.<br /><br />Asked the service desk at the dealers. They said it was probably a cool fuel problem.<br /><br />If you ask me, it would be a little harsh on the environment if I had put it in the water !<br /><br />Any ideas ? Ordered a manual (Seloc) cause the merc ones are on a huge back order.
