After my first run of the season i was doing some inspection on the engine today and checking things over.
I noticed the yellow tube from the fuel pump to the carb looks like it has condesation in it.I never noticed this last year.
The engine seems to run fine but i'm wondering if the fuel pump is getting ready to fail. If i remember this hose was dry all last season.

Re: Fuel pump Question

Is it water, or gas? Can you drain it and check? Could be just water from sitting all winter.
