1978 35hp Evinrude. Motor runs fine @ WOT. Will not idle for long periods of time w/o running out of fuel. Same thing after shutdown. The bulb will be soft.
I recently replaced the fuel line and the 2 connectors to the tank and the motor which has seemed to make the matter worse. I am using a plastic tank and the fitting that goes into the tank swivels fairly easily. That shouldn't be causing the problem should it? I have looked at all the hoses and fittings inside the engine and all seen tight. So where else should I be looking for a leak?
Thanks, bonz
