Anybody got any secrets after your boat has sat a month or 2?

Ive never had this problem. Tank is 3/4 full, and I pumped that bulb for an hour yesterday, closed vent and open, neither would get it flowing.

Any help would be appreciated! I hate even asking this, but never had this problem.

Thanks

1. Check tank vent – working properly
2. Check fuel pick up tube & screen in tank
3. Check fuel lines & filter for obstructions and collapsed/kinked lines
4. Check for any leaks in fuel line connections – leaks won’t always leak fuel but will allow air into lines
5. Seek professional help

Check yo make sure the pickup tube didn't fall off. Mine fell off going across the lake one day and was a booger to fish out.

It also tastes great after trying to pull a siphon on a tank... With a Miller Lite chaser of course :lol:

Pull line from carb, put your finger over it while you pump remove it every 5-10 for a couple, then put back. Should do the trick. If not, could be something a bit more involved that was mentioned already. This was all it took for mine to get primed. Wouldn't work any other way.

Figured it out. Back tracked from motor and found a loose fitting by the tank. Tightened it up, and good to go.

Thanks for the help. Kind of made me feel like an idiot! :lol:
