FUEL
t h e fuel line, t h e fuel pickup in t h e tank, t h e

f u e l f i i t e r , anti-siphon valve, t h e f u e l tank
vent, and excessive foreign m a t t e r in t h e
f u e l tank, and loose fuel f i t t i n g s sucking a i r
into t h e system. Improper size fuel f i t t i n g s
can also r e s t r i c t fuel flow.
On most installations, t h e f u e l line is
provided with quick-disconnect f i t t i n g s at
t h e tank and at t h e engine.
If t h e r e is
reason t o believe t h e problem i s at t h e
quick-disconnects, t h e hose ends should be
replaced as a n assembly. For a small additional expense, t h e e n t i r e fuel line can b e
replaced, thus eliminating t h i s a r e a as a
problem source f o r many f u t u r e seasons.
T h e primer squeeze bulb can b e replaced
in a s h o r t time. F i r s t , c u t t h e hose line as
close t o t h e old bulb a s possible. Slide a
small c l a m p over t h e end of t h e fuel line
from t h e tank. Next, install t h e SMALL e n d
of t h e c h e c k valve assembly i n t o this side of
t h e fuel line. The check valve always goes
towards t h e fuel tank. P l a c e a l a r g e c l a m p
over t h e end of t h e check valve assembly.
Use Primer Bulb Adhesive when t h e connections a r e made. Tighten t h e clamps. Rep e a t t h e procedure with t h e o t h e r side of
t h e bulb assembly and t h e line leading t o t h e
engine.
If the engine will M ,make every attempt t o regain

satisfactory performance by making carburetor adjustments, before assuming the carburetor is at fault.
ROUGH ENGINE IDLE

If a n engine does n o t idle smoothly, t h e
most reasonable approach t o t h e problem i s
t o perform a tune-up t o e l i m i n a t e such
d e f e c t i v e points; f a u l t y spark
a r e a s as:
plugs; and timing o u t of adjustment.
O t h e r problems t h a t can prevent a n engine from running smoothly include: An a i r
leak in t h e i n t a k e manifold; uneven compression between t h e cylinders; and sticky
o r broken reeds.
Of course any problem in t h e c a r b u r e t o r
a f f e c t i n g t h e a i r f f u e l mixture will also prev e n t t h e engine f r o m operating smoothly at
idle speed. These problems usually include:
Too high a fuel level in t h e bowl; a heavy
float; leaking needle valve and seat; defective a u t o m a t i c choke; and improper adjustm e n t s f o r idle mixture o r idle speed.
EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION
Excessive fuel consumption can be the
result of any one of t h r e e conditions, o r a
combination of all three.
1- Inefficient engine operation.
2- Faulty condition of t h e hull, including
excessive marine growth.
3- Poor boating habits of the operator.
If t h e fuel consumption suddenly increase s over what could be considered normal,
t h e n t h e cause can probably be a t t r i b u t e d t o
t h e engine or boat and not t h e operator.
Marine growth on t h e hull c a n have a
very marked e f f e c t on b o a t performance.
This is why sail boats always t r y t o have a
haul-out a s close t o race t i m e as possible.
While you a r e checking t h e bottom t a k e
usually the result of leaving the boat in the water for

long periods of time. The time for such growth t o
develop is drastically shortened in salt water and in
warm temperatures. Such a condition seriously hinders
proper performance.
