I justbought a 85hp rude 76 model (85693G) Sereal# (J0007213) Motor sat for about a year. So i got it all working and running good. >BUT< It will run great for about an hour (and then it starts) Loosing power when in max throttle its like i let up on the throttle and starts to surge up and down...But still idle's perfect and has a great hole shot. Could this be a fuel pump problem? and is it possible to bypass that pump and put in a small electric pump (mountng inside the boat) d:)

Re: Fuel Pump?????

Hi Howie

Try pumping the primer bulb the next time it bogs down. This way you are acting as the fuel pump and manually forcing fuel to the carbs. Air leaks in any of the fuel lines can cause these problems too...
