Ok so this may be the most obvious question asked ever. However i just replaced my fuel line from the tank to pump and the po did something i never would have thought of. He had 3 different sizes on the fuel line. It started at 3/16 and ended up at the fuel pump in 1/4 with brass fittings to make the size changes. It was really odd. So my question being this how will this have effected my performance? Wouldnt it have cut the fuel supply down or chocked it out? Or possibly starved it? Could it have caused my lack of wot rpms? Would this also explain the hard starting i had at times most of which were the first start? I know its a lot of questions but this was really odd to me, i have a auto tech background but outboards are a whole new animal to me. I know in a car this kind of set up could cause all sorts of issues.
It is a 1985 85 force outboard. I put 5/16 back on since it was the fuel pump inlet size, atleast it fit it snug enough not to pull right off.
O on a positive note. The prop shop i found through a recomendation of a fellow boater told me to come on here to get the most force support anyone could ever ask for. He had nothing but high praise for this site. Thought a bit of good news instead of questions would be a nice end to this post. Thanks you all this is the best place for any kind of answers anyone could look for.
