Good day everyone...
Ok here is my issue . I have a 1999 2 stroke 90hp mercury and when i attach the fuel line it dies. Now from reading past post of similar problems i found out it could be a bad fuel pump, stuck carb or even a bad primer bulb. So here's the kicker...
I rebuilt the fuel pump first after doing so i put it on the hose and it fired right up and ran fine, problem solved or so i thought two days later i put it back on the hose and it's the same problem as before runs fine as long as the fuel line is disconnected but as soon as i connect the fuel it dies. So now i rebuild the carbs and boom problem solved starts right up runs fine take it out fishing all day fri. without a problem, it sits for one day and i put it back on the hose and pow... same problem as before..... will only run with fuel line disconnected.... so i replace the primer bulb... and wouldn't you know it runs great again... this time i wait about 30 mins and try and start her back up and once again same problem ...will only run with fuel line disconnected! So i redo the fuel pump redo the carbs and it still currently will only run with the fuel line disconnected.... It acts as if it is flooding out which is why it will only run with fuel line disconnected. I am positive the carbs are good pretty sure about the fuel pump,... i am at the end of my rope. Any help would be great! thanks.
