Hello,
On my 2002 Islandia with a 240 Mercury, there is a very small fuel line, probably about 3/16 OD, that connects to three 1/8" barbed connections on the starboard side then loops over the top and connects to two 1/8" barbed connections on the port side. It looks like the throttle body / intake area.The lowest connection on the starboard side has a tee and the line continues another 8" or so and just dangles in the bilge leaking fuel. On the port side at the bottom of the throttle body there is one more 1/8" barb that's not connected to anything, . Both these open connections leak fuel.
Also on the port side are two more barbed connections that are independently connected to the block by a 5" line
Can someone please explain the function of this small fuel line and where all the connection points should be?
BTW, it came back to me like this from the rebuilder. Left a message for him but haven't heard back.
Thanks for any help!
