I bought a 2009 Tohatsu 9.8 hp with power tilt and thrust prop about 3 weeks ago. I use the motor on my C22 sail boat and it moves the boat along really well. However, I'm having a problem with the fuel line, the primer bulb will not stay hard and the motor runs out of fuel if the bulb is not pumped during use. I know that this is not how the motor is supposed to operate. I have tried crimping down the "crimps" for the hose connectors but the problem still persists. I'm kind of frustrated because I bought a brand new motor so I wouldn't have to trouble shoot. Any suggestions? |

You would take the engine into the nearest authorized service dealer and let them determine the cause and cure it. The problem could be anything from a pin hole leak in the fuel system to a defective prime bulb. |

Turned out to be a bad fuel pump. |
