i have put an extra fuel filter on after fuel pump but before carbs(aq130a) should this filter be full of fuel or just a trickle of fuel less than half an inch????
It should not be on there period.
Take it out, repair the line correctly (and not w/ automotive rubber hose and clamps) and put a real, legal, and safe water seperating fuel filter on it.
is it the glass one about 3-4 inchs long seen them in west marine.never saw one in person on a boat seen in real real old boats glass check bell type.i would think when it's running full with no bubbles.
In my own inexpert opinion.
thanks for your reply but no i have one of them filters before the fuel pump i just added a small see through one after the pump to check the amount of fuel the pump is kicking out

lol....... maclin i guess thats the only way i could really explain it an I.V drip is exactly what it looks like thanks for all your input i already have a spare fuel pump so will install that and also take a look at the fuel pick up
What you could do is test the vacume on the inlet side of the pump 4" or so to look for a problem there and test the pressure on the outlet side of the pump 4 to 6 PSI ?
