I have a 2002 honda 75 4 stroke that seems to be starving for fuel. I just put it in several weeks ago and it was running fine. Any tips or guidance would be great.
--------
ISSUES
--------
yesterday, I had a lot of trouble getting started. Then, once it was running it stalled when I put into gear. I found that I could put it in to gear slowly and go to full throttle but even at full throttle I don't believe it was at top speed.
In addition,
- primer bulb not staying firm.
- when in gear there is some subtle speed thrust/reving at all speeds.
- when I do give it has and get the speed up their is an in consistent noise that sounds like an air blast or pop (not to loud but noticeable and concerning. sounds like "Psssh")
----------
HISTORY
----------
- I had a carb issue last year, but had that taken care of (these symptoms feel and sound different.)..
- I did store the boat with full tank of gas and stabilizer over the winter
---------------
STEPS TAKEN
---------------
- replaced in line fuel filter (looked pretty dank)
- checked for water in racor (looked fine) - going to replace just in case
Again any guidance would be great. Also a friend mentioned using sea foam.. any thoughts?
Thank
Bill
