Thanks Grant, I would guess it would be over $800.00.

Thanks well done video, my 2004 200 hp opti ( new to me ) has some junk under the red fuel filter not quite as bad as yours though. Do you think i should have the injectors and fuel rail cleaned as well or have you done that? The junk in my vst is from old grey gas line detereration which previous owner replaced with new black rubber gaslines before i purchased. Another question how did you get the gas line off the vst in the bottom right corner, it has 10mm bolt and a small plate does the removel of that bolt allow the line to be removed?

@AJOutdoors1 5 месяцев назад

It wouldn’t hurt to have the injectors and rail cleaned, I didn’t. Yes, remove that bolt to disconnect that line.

@Rick-pg2ez 5 месяцев назад

@RichBrownsChannel Год назад

If it runs for 6 to 8 minutes then dies, there may be water in your fuel. Pull the fuel hose loose just after the primer bulb, squirt some into a clear bottle. Any water will settle to the bottom. Drain the VST with the hose coming out from under the fuel filter chamber.

@WTFMIKE 3 года назад

That was actually pretty entertaining. Good catch on that filter, I wonder how you're getting all that gunk in there. You think your getting stuff in your tank? I looked on my Evinrude the fuel systems are completely different 🤦‍♂️

@AJOutdoors1 3 года назад

I think some could be from bad gas, but I'm sure some is from the fuel line liner breaking down.

@timcarter9146 6 месяцев назад

You just need to take off the top bolt and loosen the bottom ones. They are set in a grove and just slides out.

@valkyrie6926 2 года назад

Do you run non ethanol gas?? I only run non-ethanol gas in mine! Also, I was gonna suggest that you change from the gray fuel line and use the braided black fuel line, because the gray has an inner part that does come apart and get in your field system! 👍

@AJOutdoors1 2 года назад

I’ve been running non-ethanol for over a year now. There are two versions of the gray hose, one with blue text on it and one with red. The newer one is supposed to be ok, but it wasn’t.

@stevegang6390 Год назад

I have the same exact motor and when I start my boat, it starts right up, then dies right away. On the second try, I try starting it up again but it will just crank and not catch for about 1 minutes before catching. Once it’s on, it’ll run all day after I get it to start but in low rpm it sounds really weak. While in idle, it idls up and down. Any help will be much appreciated.

@AJOutdoors1 Год назад

Do you squeeze the primer bulb. It does sound like a fuel delivery issue. Drain the vaper canister into a clear container to check for water. Pull the fuel filter and check it. If you have a fuel water separator, check it too.

@ANDYYSHAWW118 Год назад

Can I just ask what the oblong shaped gasket is for on the back of the pump? I am in need of 1 and I think thats why my engine is having trouble running. Can it be made with nitrile gasket sheet if cut to the right size? Here's a short description of my problem. When I start the outboard via key it dies within 10 seconds but if I pump it then remove the fuel line from the engine it runs for ages and sounds perfect with the fuel in the cards but if I re attach when it's running it dies within 10 seconds again. Any help is appreciated 🙏

@AJOutdoors1 Год назад

What motor are you working on? I'm not sure which gasket your talking about. On the 115 OptiMax (in this video) there are 3 pumps, the diaphragm pump, then inside the vapor canister are the low pressure and high pressure pumps. Either way, I don't understand how you can remove the fuel line and the engine will run for ages. With out fuel, it should die.

@matthewbogdan3645 Год назад

How is the plastic vacuum watched to the fuel filter housing? I need to replace mine and it looks like the last one was attached with something in the threads of the plastic vent before screwing it into the metal housing

@AJOutdoors1 Год назад

I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. Are you asking how the diaphragm pump attaches to the vapor canister or the drain hose on the bottom of the canister?

@@AJOutdoors1 seems to the first time it dies. After it happens a couple of times it seems to have a hard and harder time started. Lots of pumping the bulb and trying to fire it back up. Some time she start again other times it has left us using the trolling motor all the way back.
