    Water separator

    Between the gas tank & the motor?? So no water separator, I take it. If you have a water separator / filter, the primer ball would have to be placed between the gas tank and separator OR the separator and motor. Without a separator, the ball would have to be between the gas tank & motor...

    Water separator

    I did not post this in a motor repair section because it would apply to any outboard I believe, and it is not a repair but an install. I am installing a new water separator on my boat with my 70 H.P. outboard. I have a question since I have seen both installations on line in "how to"...

    Regular fuel

    I use 87 octane in my 70 horse power motor, and I add some Sea Foam to the gas tank every other tank full of fuel. (1 oz. per gal).

    Tach is working and not working

    My tach on my boat does not go to zero when my engine is off. The needle stays at about 2000 RPM. When I start the engine, it idles and the tach shows 800 RPMs, and it seems like the tach works good while the engine is running, goes up and down like it normally did in the past even at the...

    Tachometer problem

    I have a 1991 Nissan 70 H.P. outboard. Had a lot of problems with it this year, first off it was fuel problems. Got that taken care of. Next it was battery and ignition problems. got those taken care of. Took the boat pout today and the motor ran "perfect". Could not be any happier with...

    Gas line size

    Just to let you guys know, I did end up getting the right sized ball (5/16") for my motor. Thanks!

    ignition problem??

    Thank you. It sure seems like that wire is much to small for a 20A fuse, but I guess not if it shows the need for it in the parts diagram. I will leave it in there. Actually, now that I think about it a little, if the wire was too small, the wire probably would be damaged instead of the fuse...

    ignition problem??

    You are correct. I do not remember hooking the batteries backwards, but the fuse under the motor hood was blown. Took me a long , long time to find that fuse. It ended up being one of the round glass fuses and is a 20 Amp fuse. I put a new 20 A fuse in and it crank good and everything else...

    ignition problem??

    I have a 70 HP Nissan, 1991 model NS70A2E. I had two batteries on board with a two battery switch so I could run #1, #2 or both batteries. I changed batteries today, afterwards, I could not get any electric to the motor!! I have lights, radio, pumps, horn, etc. No electric coming from...

    Help with my electrical system!!

    I had my boat running real good but had two bad batteries in it, so I decided to change batteries. I took all of the wires off of the batteries (had a lot of wires on both batteries from fish finders, bilge pumps, lights, radio etc.) and I had a switch in line to go to battery #1, #2 or both...

    Primer Bulb

    I have been holding it upward when trying to get it going, but thank you for the suggestion.

    Primer Bulb

    OK I will re-route the fuel line and put the primer ball in line AFTER the water separator. I see now that it is 'pushing' the fuel into the separator rather than 'sucking' the fuel out of the separator. however, the separator is full of fuel at the time. Thanks! Note: I...

    Primer Bulb

    OK. I just did as you suggested. I put a short hose on each end of the prime ball and it pumped water out of a small pail. I have the ball connected in my boat three feet from the gas tank. Then it goes another three feet to the water separator. Then out of the separator to the motor which...

    Primer Bulb

    Glad that wout when I squeeze the ball with no resistance on the discharge end, there is no suction at all on the suction end. Seems like the ball needs my finger (or maybe the gas line connector) on the discharge end to get suction going.

    Primer Bulb

    I will definitely do this tomorrow. Just put a short piece of hose on both ends, put the suction end hose in the water and the ball should discharge the water from the discharge end without me even putting a finger on the discharge end ? When I took this primer ball out of the package, I...

    Primer Bulb

    Yes, I connected it the correct way. As I said, when I took it out of the package, I squeezed it and felt NO SUCTION. Once it put my finger over the discharge side of the primer ball when I squeezed the ball,the suction end had suction. If I did not cover the discharge end with my finger, it...
