Default Re: Fuel line blockage/obstruction

Nope, just a fuel tank, Racor, then to the ball and the seperator in the motor. There is a valve on the fuel line at the tank but it is just a shut off valve, I checked it and all looks well in side and out.

I took the RACOR out of the picture while on the water so it is not the failure.

I picked up a new fuel line today and will install it tomorrow. I may put it on the second pick up so that I can elimimate the pick up I was using. The pickups both look welded so removing them will not happen easily. Also the vent is behind the liner so getting to it will not be easy (but with some effort I can get there).

After the fuel line is reattached, I will drop the boat in some calm water and run it for a few miles to see what happens. If I still have trouble I'll pop the gas cap off to see if it is a vent issue.

If none of that is the issue the next step is to drain the tank and make sure no crud or other stuff is in there.

Am I heading down the proper path? Any easier ways to find the gremlin?
