Hello all! 1998 Bf15aw BAAS-1300059
I've read many many threads on different issues I've managed to fix with your help! So thanks for that!
Okay now for the issue at hand! This motor starts great, idles great, and runs great. But only with the "vacuum hose" detached from the mesh air filter attached to the carb. If left on without a clip (a clip that it originally does not have from the factory) it will build pressure and pop off with a huge sound of rapid air pressure release and then continue to work properly while detached. However if you force it to stay on with a clip(again no clamps/clips are meant to be on this particular air hose) the motor will not draw gas, and will only continue to run if you manually pump the primer bulb. What gives?
I had an old Acura Vigor that had the exact issue this outboard is having with a vacuum hose, that if left off would run great and so I just left it off indefinitely and never had a problem. Will this be a similar story?
P.S.
Just in case it helps, it does seldomly randomly rev higher than I'm holding the throttle, and just yesterday it wouldn't go over 5 knots with the throttle fully engaged, which I've chalked up to an old fuel filter which I'll be replacing tomorrow when it arrives, along with re-cleaning the carb again, and installing new spark plugs.
Thanks for reading!!
