Hi All,

I've recently started having an issue with my engine. Its a 2001 130 Salt Water Series 2 Stroke engine.

What happens is at idle RMP it runs a little rough and idles low, stalls ect.

With the warm up lever up I can keep it alive and if it starts to idle low/cough if I push the key in for choke it comes back up to normal idle speed. Also if when it starts to idle rough I squeeze the primer bulb (even once its already hard) It idles fine for a few seconds.

Im thinking its fuel related then?

Where shall I start/what should I do?


Thanks in advance,

Chris

I would inspect fuel pumps if pumping bulb helps,
but if choking helps then probably need to clean carbs
