    another fuel question

    Sorry to be laboring this question, but I don't want to spend money for a new part if I don't need it. When I start the engine first time it has been starting and when I give it gas to increase the idle it stalls as if it is starving for gas. Lines are not kinked, filters are clear, no water in...

    fuel loss

    Is it normal to have to pump the primer bulb if you leave the boat for an hour or a day. should'nt there still be gas in the bowls?. My carbs seem to be leaking back into the system. Could this be a defective check valve in the pump or bulb?? :eek:

    fuel pump

    Think I need a new fuel pump for my 1993 200hp evinrude. Any thoughts on where the best deal would be to buy a new one? Not sure what the part # is. Can you install a newer version and have it still perform ? I know the new ones run a straight 50/1. Any thoughts would be appreciated

    decal removal

    I have a 1993 evinrude that is in bad need of a paint job. Realized most of the cowling is not paint but decals. Is there a fool-proof way of removing , or can I scuff them up and paint right over them? Would a heat gun work? Appreciate any suggestions :confused:
