Location: Otsego, MN | I have a 60hp Mercury 2 stroke ('02) on a Smokercraft ('01). I have been having an issue over the last ~1 year with what I believe to be a leak in the gas line back to the tank. Whenever I store the boat for some time or travel with it the gas lines are drained fairly well and I must pump the ball several times to prime the lines. I have also noticed a greater issue idling after initial startup and if I choke the motor or increase idle rpm's the issue isn't present. I replaced the ball last year thinking that would be the issue and have tightened all fittings to ensure no leaks but was curious if I should replace all fuel lines from the gas tank to the motor or if there maybe is something else to investigate.
Thanks in advance |
