I have a 58 Johnson 10 HP which I am having trouble keeping it running at idle it runs good when throttle is at start and when I am running the motor, only when I bring throttle all the way down to shift it stalls. I noticed the other day that when I prime my fuel line if i don't start the motor right away it gives me trouble starting could an air leak possibly in the fuel tank be my issue? My thought's were because there is no fuel pump and the motor is pressurizing the tank to send fuel to carburetor maybe at low idle the pressure the motor is putting in the fuel tank is to low to pump fuel up to my carburetor which is stalling it out? Thank you in advance for any advice and input!
