well, sounds like you need to find the fuel pump relay and test that to see if it is getting key on power and if the relay is operating at all and if it has 12+ to one side of the contact and sends power out the other side
I guess this oil hose you speak of is the fuel line to the motor, and you are pumping the bulb.
Is this 20 also a 4 stroke motor?
do you think the motor is overheating or low on oil or low oil pressure causing the RPM limiter to slow down the rpms?
there should be 12v+ to the pump as long as the key is in the on position.
He needs to figure out how to test to make sure he does or does not have it at the pump at key on, before he goes any other direction
yeah, those bullet connectors are so you can add another switch somewhere on the boat.
I added one on my poling platform, so I could lower the motor while poling in shallow water to stop the boat from moving when I wanted it to stay put while casting at reds I was seeing
did you check for spark?
compression, spark and spark timing are the easy things to test , if all of those are good the it would be the fuel to air ratio ,but that is not as easy to check
did anything say to mix up some 50 to1 gas and run the motor on that.?
mark the oil level in the oil tank to make sure it goes down so you know it is pumping.
you should notice when it has double oil from the smoking
