FORCE 125 HP Boggs down

[MIKEYM1969]

I was out on the boat the other day and it was running fine until I throttled up. It was fine for a few minutes then bogged down. It repeated the same symtoms over and over as I throttled up and down, and at low throttle it was great. I did notice the bulb on the fuel line was soft and as soon as I started squeezing it the boat took off fine. When I stopped so did the motor, any suggestions on where to start.

MIKEYM1969,<br /> I'm no pro and still learning, however, have you tried replacing the fuel line from the outboard to your fuel/water separator and also looking at the fuel filters on the carbs? I just replaced the fuel/water separator and the primer bulb on my old Force 125 as it wasn't getting hard either and now the new one does get hard no problem.<br /><br />Just giving some ideas.<br /> Tim

Usually if you pump the bulb and the motor picks up, it is an indication that the fuel pump diaphram needs to be replaced.<br /><br />Shane
