So im troubleshooting the sh****t out of this problem I'm having. Again, 2001 Caravelle Interceptor 212. Max RPM is 3,000 then it either dies or boggs. I've replaced my plugs, fuel pump, fixed my carb, had my coil checked, im sure theres a few other things I've done (Oh, I ordered a new alternator an hour ago since I guess this partially controls the pump). Anyhow, I disconnected the fuel pump and there was a 12'' hose that went down, then into my boat (fiberglass cannot follow). I got down in my engine area and tried sucking the gas from the hose with my mouth....
1. Should the gas freely flow from that hose to the pump, given I just tried to suck it out? If not, wouldnt that mean theres some type of clog or something?
I cant seem to find where this hose connects to my gas tank. if I can find my gas tank I can take off the hose, inexpect the hose and possibly check the anti siphon valve I've read about for the past few hours.
This is really starting to get to me... cannot exceed 3,000 rpms.
Im in my early 20's. Im trying to "learn" how to do this stuff as opposed to just taking it somewhere.
