27 hp prodrive fuel issue
ok so i bought this prodrive used. it is an early 2000 model. manual reverse. just recently during the last two hunts it has ran fine for about 10 min then it would lose power, if i pump the ball it would regain power and run fine. now it wont stay running at all. i have changed fuel lines, ball and fuel pump. only thing i havent done yet is clean the carb. just wanted some input before i tear it down. thanks

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
clean the carb, adjust the float. sounds like it's emptying the bowl and the fuel pump cant keep up. since you've replaced the fuel pump, it could be gunk in that passage.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Pay particular attention to the fuel shut off solenoid, they really get gummed up.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
How about bubbles/air leaks in your fuel filter?

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Just checked and the fuel pump is definitely not pushing any fuel. Has to be something with the pulse line ??

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
When u clean carb also make sure to take the accelerator pump on the carb apart and clean it out. I have same motor with same problem. I changed all fuel components as well. Same problem still. Recleaned carb, taking apart the accelerator pump this time then Also the put a electric fuel pump on it and ran like a champ.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
I used Mr. Gasket 42S Electric Fuel Pump. $40 on Amazon. I believe Napa has one as well search forum for that part number. I assume ur fuel tank is in the front of ur boat?

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Get a spare or make sure you have a primer bulb. Those pumps are good, but they give no warning when they're gonna die. The facets have a longer lifespan.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Should I bypass the original fuel pump? Also noticed it runs better with the pulse line disconnected from the old pump

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
One fuel pump only. Don't run 2.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Get a bolt, pull the fitting, plug the hole. That way you can always go back to it if you want to.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Went for a run and noticed it was stalling a bit when I tried to open it up to fast. Turned up the idea. Tiny tach is reading 2120 at idle. Is this speed OK/safe??

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Not really. You need to idle around 1200-1600 (don't know what the manual calls for, though, but that's a good ballpark). If it's stumbling off idle, the carb needs tuning or upgrading. Read up on tuning carbs. The concepts are the same for most carbs, they just don't all look the same.

Re: 27 hp prodrive fuel issue
Haven't reported in a while. The Prodrive doesn't miss a beat now with the new fuel pump. Thanks again to everyone who helped out. About to upgrade to a bigger motor and boat [WINKING FACE]
