Hello,
I have a Yamaha 8hp 4 stroke kicker motor that has a fuel delivery problem. I pump the ball on the gas line pointing upward until it gets hard. The motor runs great for about 10 minutes until it runs out of fuel in the gas line and then the engine dies. I pump the ball up repeatedly to continue but the same problem persists. I replaced the entire gas line and the water separator, serviced the engine and the problem still continues. My Yamaha 115hp engine runs fine with a fuel line exiting the same water separator. I am thinking it may be the gas tank but I am not sure. I heard the Yamaha 8hp 4 stroke kicker motor does not have a fuel pump but I am not sure about that either. The boat is a 20 foot North River Seahawk. Anybody have any ideas what is wrong? This is seriously affecting my fishing serenity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin from Gladstone
