I have a '73 Evinrude 115. I took it out for the first time this year a couple of weeks ago. I started it in the driveway to make sure it was running and I noticed that the primer bulb was extremely hard, so I replaced it with a new primer bulb that I had. The boat ran well at lower speeds but I couldn't get it up to full speed. And at WOT, it acted like it was starving for gas and would die. When it died, the primer bulb was definitely not full so I would pump it up and it would start right back up.
While I was out on the lake, I checked some of the hose connections and almost all of the hose clamps were loose?? It's been over 3 years since I rebuilt the carbs and installed new fuel lines so I'm thinking I might do it all again. Before I rebuild the carbs, I thought I would go through the fuel lines and either replace them or at a bare minimum, replace the clamps.
The fuel line is a 3/8" ID line. What is the best type of clamp to use?
Thanks!
