I posted this over at the non engine related forum and got just 1 crappy answer. I thought I would try here if it is alright, I have always got good advice here.
Anyway I have a problem with my 115 Johnson sucking the primer bulb flat from time to time. When this happens I blow out the fuel line and things are fine for a while untill it happens again. I have ran it off of an external tank and don't have the problem. I am about 99.9% sure the problem is at the tank.
The problem I am having is like in many boats I have just a 8" inspection port through which to work. I can get a 3/4" wrench on the elbow comming out of the tank but can't get a whole lot of leverage on it and things won't budge. I have it soaking in PB Blaster right now and will try again later. Does anybody have any experience with removing the pickup tube through a small access and mabey any tips. I am assuming the thing just screws into the tank, is that correct?
