    25hp force outboard needs fuel pump,--NLA

    you doubt the fuel pump is the issue? all my years working on engines i always thought if the engine runs out of fuel, and you have fuel and the lines are ok, the problem is the pump. how is this different>? FWIW, this tank and hose works fine on another engine

    Mercruiser 5.0 EFI 2001 with Idle problems
