What are peoples thoughts on this?
I have a fuel injected 70 HP suzuki outboard. I have had an issue with it shutting down in 5000 + rpms. I finally took it off the boat and when I did I decided to cut the entire fuel line apart. When I did that I found a 2 foot section in the external fuel line near the primer bulb had completey cam detached and was floating loose inside the gray line fuel line. Would this be enough of an issue, so when the motor was really demeaning fuel would cut off the fuel supply? I found no real consistency to when it would shut off, only seems to do it when quickly accelerating or running at 5000+ rams for a period of time. I had tried a number of other fixes and never really found any clear indicators besides this issue. Little dumb on my part that I didn't try exchanging the fuel line, but it was fairly new and I don't run ethanol gas. Motor always started and idled and revved perfectly in driveway. Only does it under heavy load and high RPMS. So I am hopeful That a new external fuel line will solve this issue. Anyone have anything similar happen?
