I have a 1994 johnson 150. Have disconnected the vro pump and using 50:1 premised gas. had the boat out this weekend and was running well but then the rpms dropped off and stalled. wouldn't start. pumped the bulb and the engine turned over fine. ran for a few minutes at idle and staled out again.
pumped the bulb fired it up and continued to pump the bulb and was able to make it back to the ramp.
bulb was old and kinda nasty so changed them out and the fuel lines, fuel filters etc. and fired it up. started right away, idled for a while and then stalled. same symptoms. if you give the bulb a squeeze engine continues to run.
I am thinking that its the fuel pump. I know the fuel pump has the built in vro pump but have that disconnected. and i prefer to mix my gas.
can I rebuild just the the fuel pump side of this pump or do I need to buy a new pump? can I buy a different pump that doesn't have the vro?
Many thanks.
