Hi all,
I recently bought a boat after many years without one. It has a 1995 Evinrude 70 on it. Quit on me the other day and I noticed that the fuel hose had pulled loose from the motor on a hard right turn. Seems like it was too short, about 18" from bulb to motor, so I replaced that section with about a 28" length. After a short trip, it kept stalling out, seemed fuel starved. Co I cut about 6" off the hose and put it back on and it ran fine. Obviously the fuel line length matters, and I am not sure if I have it at the ideal length or just close enough. Anybody know what the actual length from pump to motor, including bulb, is supposed to be?
