I have a 1991 Johnson 200hp that has appeared to be starving for fuel. I thought the main tank might be the problem, so I replaced the inline fuel filter with a clear glass filter so that I could see the gas. I then hooked up a 12 gallon portable tank to bypass the main tank.
The inline fuel filter will only stay about 1/4th full when the engine is running. I pumped the primer bub and I cannot get the inline filter to get completely full.
How full should the inline filter be when the engine is running?? Is this normal?? What could the problem be?? Any help appreciated.:confused:

it is normal for the filter to be about 1/4 full. you may have a bad fuel pump, those VROs sux bad.
