Hey all.. I have a question about mu motor, if anyone could offer assistance, I would be very greatful!
I have a '92 Evinrude 175hp V6 motor. She's old and has seen better days but she still does run - first time starting her up though for the season, new gas, filters, water separators... she runs for 5 minutes in idle and then appears to run out of gas. That's what it sound alike anyway. I would then have to pump the fuel primer bulb until it's hard again and she able to start up again.
I tried taking her out and opening her up, thinking maybe it's just bad fuel that needed to get blown out but in the middle of the lake in about a minutes time, "ran out of gas". Again, I primed the bulb, she started and i got back to the dock.
I then proceeded to check the fuel lines for kinks and what I did come across was that the fuel filter, at the housing was leaking some gas. I am not sure if this could be the issue, the serviceman said that it shouldn't be the issue -(the serviceman who won't work on my motor but will sit there an answer questions..)
So I wanted to hear if anyone might have some ideas or experience with this problem?
Thanks!
Tony D.
