my yamaha 9.9 keeps dying after 20min of trolling but if I prime the bulb right before it dies and can keep it running. I dont know were to start to look . It has a fuel water seperator and it is hard lined from the main tank. The primer bulb is also not flat?

AK,
If you are on a portable tank, make sure that the vent is open. Don't ask how I know about this, but the problem sounds very familiar.

AK-
If you can establish that there are no flow restrictions or no air leaks, the next suspect would be a weak pump.
The pump for these motors is a crankcase pressure-operated diaphram unit on the side of the powerhead. It can be easily disassembled, cleaned out and then put back together and then tested. There is usually a filter screen inside it as well. Check to see that all the parts are clean, and that there are no restrictions between the pump and the carburetor.
Joe.

| The kicker is ran off of the main tank. I dont think there is a restriction because the bulb is not flat however I am going to replace the fuel water seperator filter. As far as the pump goes thats a good thought I think I will pull it and see what I find. I will also be back up on lopez on friday at the dealer to pickup parts maybe a new fuel pump. I was told it may be the anti siphon valve too. |
