"I've got a 2005 4 HP, Toh
"I've got a 2005 4 HP, Tohatsu 4 stroke, with both the internal tank and the connection for a external one. I changed the oil and drained the gas the other day, and tried to start it off the internal tank. I notice that I wasn't getting any fuel flow when I removed the supply line. I tried to crank it for over 20 minutes, no success. I then hooked up my external tank, and pumped the priming ball a few times and fuel was flowing through the supply line. I then cranked it on the second try. There is no priming mechanism for the internal, and it appears that it's difficult to get fuel to flow when using the internal tank for the first time. After cranking the engine with the external connection, I removed it, and ran off the internal no problem, my guess is because the fuel system was primed.
Any one have any ideas on the problem. I tried to search the archives, but couldn't find anything.
