Hi everyone,
I have a 1984 Mercury 7.5 hp and I had a problem with my needle valve sticking open so I cleaned and rebuilt my carb--new seals, new needle valve, it's spic and span. The motor starts great and runs well but as soon as the fuel in the bowl runs out it will die unless I re-prime. Here are some details on what I've done to try and resolve this:
- Repalced fuel line from tank to motor
- Checked fuel line to carb for blockages
- checked main jet (it's clear)
- Rebuilt fuel pump
I'm at my wit's end here. Any help from the experienced guys would be greatly appreciated! Suggestions on what the problem might be or what to try next would be great.
Thanks!
