    I'm still new, but I'll help if I can. I may have the manual for that motor. What horsepower do you have? Is there something happening that makes you ask this question?Jason

    Howdy, Frans.If it is a 2hp, 3hp or 4hp your engine uses a gravity feed from the tank to the carburetor. If it is larger, it probably uses a fuel pump operated by pressure pulses in the crankcase. If it is older, it may use a pressurized tank.Do you have a problem? Tell us your model number and your problem and perhaps we can help.

    Start a new thread for your problem with your 2hp outboard. Nobody will look at this thread from 2002.

    Sure...go ahead and laugh at my old aluminum boat. It's paid for!

    Welcome to iboats Dan.

    Start a new thread, I just happened to come across this but noone else willk know you here.

    Sounds like a classic clogged main jet to me, they are in the bottom of the float bowl and any time crap gets into the carb it will clog the jet.

    You don't want to run it till you get this fixxed, no fuel no lube.

    Start a new thread and others will help you with this.
    GO IRISH!!!!
