JASON ... as you are a bloke it must be too early for you on a Sunday morning ... have another cuppa!

Think you've been hanging around Fed to long Seafairy

I knew exactly wot jason meant he was refering to the fitting on the tank itself & hustler was refering to the fitting on end of the fuel line

Personally I would do away with all fitting & opt make a plate same size as wun on tank pick up on existing screw holes

Weld in a new pickup pretruding out past plate enough for the hose & clamp to be secured to

JUMPY .....
Ain't going anywhere near that!

Dont look @ me Fed's your prob not mine

[Fed]

But the air leak was fixed so why would he want to change the tank half of the fitting?
There's no O ring in that half anyway.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Fittings are weak links so why not do away with them so ewe dont get probs in the future

[Fed]

So?

What's that got to do with..

Frank think it may be your lucky day a pic tells a 1000 words

Thats not a loom merely a single earth cable that's melted

just trace it all the way back to the starter to make sure no other wires [ around area's it's cable tied ] are melted/fused together if all clear

Just make up a new earth earth, ends on cable in pic are crimped but I much prefer to solder on the bolt hole lugs

Jumpy. Yes mate I know it's an easy fix, it's more then just the earth wire, a couple of the power wires , one that leads to under the flywheel is also burnt, not as bad as the earth but hope they are still workable. The loom is a sealed unit with the CDI so will need to replace the CDI unit itself to be sure it has no damage.
Just a matter of gertting around to doing something about it. I have got to that point in life that I simply don't do anything these days to do with boats/fishing etc, it's a struggle just to come on these Fishing sites these days, and I am seriously considering selling all my gear, OR giving it away so it will be less Val has to do when I do go to god/ or the other bloke.

hey fishos,

having a litte play with the outboard 2day,
i was playing around with the connection from the hose onto the outboard itself and that was connected properly...

pulled the fuel pump apart.... had a look at put it back together again.... is there any tell tale signs in it that would show its screwed up ???? and exactly how do they work ????

when i sqweez the fuel line bubble and while i sqweez it i look very careful at the fuel filter u see a change in the fuel level in the filter plus about 4 tiny little bubbles ??????

also i noticed that alot of the fuel line fittings and air fittings under the cow arnt really the best so when i replace the fuel pump im going to get some new clamps as all there is on there at the moment are well twisted metal wires...


but after playing with it for a while i started the motor up and ran it for about 15 mins.... after about 5 mins or so you can hear a change in the idle of the motor and a very quick sweez on the fuel line bubble which is alot harder then it was before and its fine fr about another 5 mins....

so i intend on changing the fuel pump as well as new clamps for the air and fuel lins but geez im sratching my head on this

[Fed]

They usually work on pulses from the engine crankcase that move the diaphram in & out, this combined with 2 small valves form a pump.

also i noticed that alot of the fuel line fittings and air fittings under the cow arnt really the best so when i replace the fuel pump im going to get some new clamps as all there is on there at the moment are well twisted metal wires...

If ewe saw no rips in the diaphram then I would not replace the fuel pump

Wot I would be doing though is pissing off all the fuel fittings best ewe can

From the tank run the line with squishy squishy bulb you've no choice there

Cant see wots under the cowl but there will be another fuel connection on the outer face of motor

Unscrew it & piss it off there's no need for it wotsoever, through that cavity run your mainline fuel line & connect it to ???????????

Cant remember which is 1st fuel pump of inline filter, whichever it is connect to it

oh make sure ewe replace the inline filter cause if it's got crap in it, may have contributed to the hard starting of motor

[jasonb]

i wonder could there be something in the tank that could be restrickting it a little ,,probably not but just a guess ,,jas

[hustler57]

the only problem i would have with taking away the fuel line cnnections on the tank itself is that they are 22 litre portable tanks, the red ones...

the inside of the fuel pump looked old but fairly clean...

but i guess it wouldnt hurt putting on a new 1,

but raised my eye brows was the 4 little bubbles i the fuel filter/canister... maybe there is another air leak prior to the pump and or filter... maybe as you said jg the connections,

but as i also said the are about 4 connections in the fuel line before it gets to the pump/ filter im thinking that as there are only held on with a very short piece of wire. not the best connection, so it may have a slight air leak.. which would show why there little bubbles are there. also there may be a little air leak in the hose from the crankcase to the fuel pump.

jason you have a point as i dont know how old the fuel tanks are as they came with the boat... i will also go and buy new fuel tanks

That will weaken the fuel pump.

[Jumpus GooDarus]

the red ones... :

These yours Benny ???????????????



Thought they were Christos's

but raised my eye brows was the 4 little bubbles i the fuel filter/canister... maybe there is another air leak prior to the pump and or filter... maybe as you said jg the connections,

Yep piss off as many connections as ewe can

but as i also said the are about 4 connections in the fuel line before it gets to the pump/ filter im thinking that as there are only held on with a very short piece of wire.

They're not the connections I'm refering to & they should be just fine those connections are hose over a barbed fitting
Tis the crappy unpluggable fuel connectors I'm refering to

[hustler57]

nah jg my red things are a little more frilly in the front .. i could put up a pic of me wearing them if you want

[jasonb]

arent they called a strap on hustler ,,jas

[hustler57]

nah dont need 1 of them mate....

i just like the frilly feeling
