Re: gamefisher question

If it has a remote hook up it has a pump.It is an odd looking rubber bladder
in the mounting flange of the carb. Note the angle of the installation.
Parts may be available at certified parts corp or discount marine

Re: gamefisher question

thanks for the info.i think i might need one because it stops running after a few minutes.But if i pump the fuel bulb a bunch of times it will run for a long time.not sure if the fuel pump is bad.but i can tell you this motor is very effcient ive had it out 3 times and only used 1.5 gallons of gas.whats the told tale sign that the fuel pump is bad? thanks again

Re: gamefisher question

If squeezing the primer bulb helps it run its generally the fuel pump or a bad connection somewhere allowing it to suck air.Pump element failure is fairly common.
