Fuel shortage
I've got what seems like a fuel shortage. I guess it could be something wrong with the ignition but it really sounds like it's running out of fuel. 89' Johnson 200 running around 4,000 rpm's it misses. The motor just kind of falls on its face. It just started this at the end of the day on Saturday. The VRO has been removed. This is the same boat that sat for 8 years with out running. The fuel filter has been cleaned but the fuel line and bulb has not. The fuel pump has not been touched. I'd like to change the lines/bulb and filter out this week. Just wondering if there is something I can do to confirm the fuel pump? Change a diaphragm or something.
please advise.
P.S. I do have a slight smell of fuel. The fuel tank does not have a good seal on the inlet. The hose likes to come off.
