I'm still new, but I'll help if I can. I may have the manual for that motor. What horsepower do you have?

Is there something happening that makes you ask this question?

Howdy, Frans.

If it is a 2hp, 3hp or 4hp your engine uses a gravity feed from the tank to the carburetor.

If it is larger, it probably uses a fuel pump operated by pressure pulses in the crankcase. If it is older, it may use a pressurized tank.

Do you have a problem? Tell us your model number and your problem and perhaps we can help.

JB, Thanks ,it is a 60 hp and it started to struggle to plane the boat, I changed the fuel with no result, I suspect fuel starvation

What boat (length, approx weight)?

Is it running on all cylinders?

What happens if you squirt fuel into the carbs when trying to plane?
