OK, first post, just joined. I just bought an alum. boat with a 09 mercury 15hp tiller style, no e start. Was out last weekend and while running full out the motor ran rough for a few seconds then totally died. By holding the choke lever out most of the way I managed to limp back to the boat ramp. Got home and tried to figure out the problem, found fuel pickup line inside tank a little too long and had a pretty good crimp but not totally blocked. Then i noticed the primer bulb doesnt seem to be filling, the one on the engine hooked to the carb not on the fuel line. Checked bulb by disconnecting and holding my finger over the hole and it held suction in the bulb. no obvious damage to the line. I did these things and the motor now runs but still absolutely no gas getting to the primer bulb on motor. All advice or ideas appreciated.
