2002 Evinrude 115 serial #04980387 - Fuel spraying from Schrader valve

[CableGuy1978]

Hello folks,
Just noticed this issue today after smelling fuel and noticing it in the water behind the motor. From what I have read it’s caused by the ethanol in the fuel.

Is it possible to remove the valve and couple the fuel line together without issue? The alternative and likely the proper solution of course would be to replace it. In which case my question is what parts do I need? I’m having some issues locating part numbers.

Hoping someone with some experience can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Try using your model # here in IBoats.
Your looking for the fuel system in the diagrams and the part your looking for is a primer.
Best

That motor may not have a primer valve like carbureted motors.
