I have a 96' mercury 90hp 2-stroke that starts fine the first time it is fired up. It runs fine and will run WOT no problem. What I am having an issue with is the restart once out on the water. After the initial start if I turn the motor off to troll or just relax on the water, it wont restart again till it has been sitting for long enough to have cooled down again.
Couple of things I am seeing:
- I replaced the inline filer that is inside the engine hood with a clear one. After the motor is warm and I pump the primer bulb it only fills the inline filter up about half way and then the gas slowly drains back out of the filter.
- While running the inline filter is only about half full and bubbles.
- I have replaced the primer bulb but that doesn't seem to have changed anything.
- My fuel system is an aluminum tank with a fuel line run to a filter/water separator, then a primer bulb, then hits the motor.
Any advice on what to try or ideas of what the problem might be would be very helpful.
Cheers,
