Gamefisher 5 hp

[lumberjack031]

I have a 5 HP gamefisher outboard motor. The diaphram (pump or element) whatever you call it keeps breaking or bursting. How do I prevent that from happening? Also, the other problem is the motor will not continue to suck gas from the external tank. Once it is primed the motor fires right up and runs great for a few minutes until the gas used to prime it is out. So in order for it to keep running I use the bulb pump on the external gas tank line to pump it every few minutes. How can I keep the motor running continuously? Oh, I did make sure air was not getting into the line from the gas tank to the carburetor. Has anyone had this similar problem and how did you fix it?

I thought we allready covered this.The fuel pump element has to go in at
a 45 degree angle.Approximately 1:30 and 7:30. on a clock face.
While These elements aren't the best I havent heard of premature failures.
