hey all,

i took the boat out yesterday and it would start for about 10 sec then choke out then would have trouble starting again but after starting it would have the same problem... the engine is a 2006 yamaha 50 2-stroke that just fell out of warenty. today i replaced all the fuel line fittings ball filter etc. i took of the fuel filter bracket and inspected a spotless thing... after changing all this i hooked up the hose and still have the same problem... o the ball is not going flat... i am thourghly counfused... any ideas?

Man that's an awful new motor to be having an internal fuel problem. Are you running it off the boats tank? Are you able to use a portable gas tank that would help to eliminate a boat problem?

You seem ot be on the right path with the hoses and filters, however. Good luck.

i put it on a 2 gal tank and bipased the boats fuel filter and still had the same problem... i have heard bad things about ethenol... i dunno... could it be that the carbs are running to rich... and that is why it cant idle long... when i took it out if i feathered the throtle back and forth it got on plane once but couldent do it again... it is like the fuel pump is a bit cloged mabye... and if it can get enough fuel preasure and go or mabye a needle is a bit gunked up... i dunno im lookin for an opinion before i mess with anything to much internaly.... im pretty mechanicaly inclined but this just doesnt make much sence like you said it is pretty much brand new and is out 2 times a week so it doesnt sit to let varnish form in the bowls etc.... its frustrating.. like we say boat= bring out another thousand...
