Just purchased used 9.9b2 Tohatsu - starts 1st or 2nd pull, idles great, runs very smooth.
Tested on local lake recently. Engine ran great until 1/2 throttle achieved, then bogged down and died. Restarted easily but experienced same occurence even at lower sppeds a moment later.
*Ensured fuel tank ventilation screw fully open while engine running*
Observation:
Fuel line appeared vacuumed out (bulb implosion/suction). Detached fuel line, depressed needle at connections to re-establish airflow (re-inflate inflate bulb) and tried again. Unable to restart 3rd time. Trolling motor saved the return trip to dock...
Suggestions or pointers greatly appreciated!
