0 Hoyter Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Need more info. Is it a tiller or remote? How does it kill - stop immediately or putter out? Will it recover if you straighten it out quickly? Does it start again right after it stalls? If you can't tell, I'm leading toward some sort of electrical problem like a poor connection or short when wires are being strained in a sharp turn.

0 Jim W Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 United, that was my guess. I just had the intake from my gas tank replaced. It had a crack half way down it. Once my tank neared half it would die.NEver on a full tank...for obvious reasons.I hope this is all it is....cheap fix!Jim W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 united jigsticker Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Maybe your hose is getting pinched when you turn and cutting off your fuel supply. How fast are you going when this happens?------------------Good fishing, UJ[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LOWinEYEin Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Tried starting it with the water hose connected. It would start for a little bit but then kill. Is it possible to have rust or something negative in the tank/hose.I drained it this spring and put all new in, but did not rinsce it out or nothing.Is there a sponser for this site that sells tanks?

0 Surface Tension Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Is the bulb tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 psegriz Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Had this problem this year w/my merc. It turned out to be a bad hose connection to the fuel pump. The crimp somehow wasn't holding seal anymore, take the hood off and squeeze the bulb. To check and see if any fuel leaks somewhere.------------------GRIZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
