Location: Stones throw away...finally!! | Well, I took a trip up to Vermilion last weekend and ran my boat out of gas. I've got a 42 gallon main tank and a 5 gallon auxillary. My guages are always reading empty due to the sending units not working correctly (I understand that is a pretty common issue), that is getting fixed soon. I wasn't too worried about it as I had 5 gallons of reserve to get me to a pump if I ran out. Well, I ran it dry on Sunday and when I switched the valve to the aux. tank, I couldn't get the gas to flow. I have been trying for the last hour to get gas from the tank to the motor with no luck. I finally went and put some gas in the main tank, and now cant get the gas to flow from the main tank. I don't know whether it is an air pocket or something else. Has anyone else ran their boat dry and had a bear of a time getting it re-lit. I have tried squeezing the ball until my forearms hurt with no results. I know the motor is fine becuase every once in while it will run for a few seconds. Can anyone tell me how I am suppose to get this problem solved. Thanks. Oh, by the way it is a 620, so I can't readily see/inspect my lines, but I am sure that they are fine, I just can't get the gas started to the motor. Am I going to have to syphon it out? Thanks for the help.
