Ever done a compression test, or had a survey come back with low compression readings? I come across it regularly, and here's what you need to know to make an informed decision!
my motor goes good for 20 minutes then the primer is flat, after keep squeezing the primer for 5 minutes then the motor starts but only runs max 5 knots all the way back to the boat ramp if i try go faster it stalls, any ideas because it does go fast for the first 20 minutes every time I go out then primer flat again? I dont think its a blockage as it runs perfect for first 20 min each time. Please help...
If the primer goes soft it is likely a fuel issue. Have a look at the breather, try a different fuel line and primer, and check all the connections from the tank to the motor? Are there any fuel filters with glass bowls, and if so, what do they look like when the motor stalls?
@@BoatBuy Hi, I've put new fuel lines, primer and breather hose and it still does it, I've been told to go out running off a portable fuel tank just so i can find out if its the motor or underfloor fuel tank, I will give that a go first. I will check the glass bowl, thanks for your help, Cheers.
