Yesterday i went out with my '68, 6hp Johnson sea horse.
I ran into the problem that I had to keep squeezing the bulb on the fuel line. If I don't the carb runs out of fuel and the engine stalls.
What should I look for? Why doesn't the engine take it's own fuel. I just installed a filter on the line, can that cause to much resistance? I don't know if it worked before, I just bought the tank and engine. Threw out the old fuel, that had been sitting for a year, and filled her up with new gas...
I noticed that at a certain point I was only squeezing air into filter/fuel line. (tank was half full) Does this mean there is a leak somewhere? Then why was there pressure on the tank?(when I opened the vent on the tank it hissed for a moment so you would think it's air tight no?)
I hope this makes sense to someone, thanks
