In my 78 lowe line with a 55 Johnson SeaHorse, the guy was using a portable tank under the fishing deck. I don't like this and want to use the internal tank that is still in there. The tank has old fuel in it and the guy I bought the boat from only used the spare tank but said that he wasn't aware of any issues.
So,,, I put about a half gallon of gas in the tank with some treatment in it to try and clean any gunk out of it. Then connected a new hose and bulb to the old connectors and squeezed (a lot!) I can feel suction within the hose but get nothing out of it. I am about to replace the old Johnson connector with new one, and wonder if there is an issue with the hoses inside the tank. How do I get the fitting out to inspect them? Also any tips for restoring it would be great. Would love to add more fuel.
Thanks,
