fuel line "o" ring connector?

[Chacer]

I don't see one at the motor end; a boat buddy mentioned that could be the reason she bogs down (70 Johnson) at WOT, starved for fuel...he mentioned the o-ring could be cracked...don't see one...should I just replace entire line...already replaced the primer bulb...thanks all....

Fuel line w/ primer is <$20 at Walmart, go for it.

CH, Starving for fuel can be a little difficult to find problem Start with a manual..Bad connector(where o ring lives)<br />could be a problem at motor and tank.<br /> You should check supply from pump to carb if supply to carb is good you may have to rebuild carb.If poor rebuild pump.<br /> I usually check everything from tank to carb.<br /> Check clean and rebuild as necessary.Dont forget<br /> vent and pickup tube in tank.

If you need to replace the O ring is easy, but its even easer to replace the whole hose fitting clip assy. To replace the O ring, push the ball in a little, then with a bent paper clip work the O ring out. They are cheep at your OMC dealer.
