Post 23 Briggs
HELP!!!

I've got a friend that just bought a 23 briggs and wants to run his fuel tank to the front of his 18' go-devil boat. He was told by MB that he needs to get another fuel pump if he's going to run it that far??? Is that true? I ran a 25 Kohler with a fuel line for 20' and didn't have an issue. I know I know Kohlers aren't Briggs but I'd like to get him an answer...

Thanks.

some motors run fine other don't, just depends on the motor.
try it w/o and if it is starving then get a fuel pump.

I really dont know man. Only time I ever had any RPM trouble wit mine I had a dirty carb. It would rev way up out of the water but when I put the prop in the water it only ran on one cylinder. It was one side of that lil 2 bbl carb had trash in it and when the motor got under a load that side would starve for fuel. I dont think thats your problem tough. Are ya sure the throttle is opening all the way?

I was also told not to run any bigger than 1/4 inch fuel line with that long of a run. If so, your fuel pump on the motor would not be strong enough to pull that much fuel. Then you would need another fuel pump.
