Location: Otsego, MN | I have the similar problem with my Mercury (2001, 60hp) and was advised by a few people and mechanics to change all filters in the fuel line as well as inspect for pin holes or leaks. Any crack, pin hole or leak could cause the fuel to not get fully primed and actually bleed back into the tank so your motor wouldn't get sufficient fuel. I believe that is my issue as every time I trailer my boat the lines don't stay liquid full and I have to pump my ball several times. If your fuel filters are dirty the pressure drop across it is not allowing full fuel flow to the motor and will be very similar.
This is just my observation and recommendations others gave me so hopefully it helps.... |
