Hi all had a problem today.
Yamaha f40...40 hours on engine. Fresh gas put in tank today.
Ran great for 45 minutes then started bogging down when trying to accelerate. Could only go 3 mph after that.
I could squeeze bulb and it would get firm, but after running engine briefly it was quite soft. I tried closing vent, opening vent, cap off of tank nothing helped. When I would remove the fuel line from engine a bit of gas would squirt out. Could not even rev up engine in neutral without sputtering. When I got back to the dock (Got towed) it would rev up again, but was ready to get outta dodge.
I suppose I will start by changing fuel line and bulb, and check to make sure screen is clean in tank.
Any ideas you all?
