Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

I have no ANTI-SIPHONING VALVE But there are ckeck vaules on the tanks were the fuel line connects.
This is if they are still there?? I removed mine when they gave me trouble.
Mine were square block with fitting for the fuel line and threaded into the tank, had a ball in side,

Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

OOOHHHHH!!!!!!

I KNOW WHERE THAT IS! IT IS THE ELBOW COMING OUT OF THE TANK I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT OFF AND SEE IF THERE IS A BALL IN THERE. THANKS

DID YOUR TANK HAVE A SOCK LIKE FILTER IN THE TANK ON THE PICK UP LINE??

Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

My 82' Wellcraft had the sock and I've not had to get into the 87' yet. If you don't want to get into the fuel tank yet, I'd get a 6 gallon job on deck and run the fuel line to your fuel pump. IN fact, I've got one w/ 4 gallons in it and I'm coming to Berlin this afternoon if your reading this. I could drop it off.

THANKS FOR THE OFFER MAN, BUT I AM GOING TO DRAIN THE TANK, I FIGURE IF THERE IS WATER IN THE TANK OR A CLOGGED FILTER THAN I WILL HAVE TO DRAIN IT ANYWAY.

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE OFFER MAN I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I understand draining the tank if you have contaminated fuel, but there is no need to drain the tank to fix anything we have discussed in this thread. The on deck tank would at least eliminate the boats fuel system as a possible issue. You can pull the pick up tube without draining the tank. The pickup is where you'll find the anti-siphon valve and the possible sock filter.

Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

Why dont you just go run it on a portable six gallon tank with a SEPARATE new fuel hose and bulb? That will eliminate alot of variables right there. If you dont have one it would be worth the investment to try it. ;D

Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

Stinky is right. Isolate the problem and run a small tank with fresh gas and a new gas line and ball.

Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

If I had a dime for....... ;D

Re: HELP!!! PLEASE
 

WELL I THANK EVERYONE FOR ALL THE ADVICE, I WON;T BE ABLE TO TRY THE SEPERATE TANK UNTIL SATURDAY. DUE TO WEATHER AND IT GETTING DARK AT 6 AND I WORK UNTIL 6.

I AM STILL GOING TO CHECK THE POSSIBLE SOCK FILTER ON THE PICK UP LINE AND THE BALL IN THE PICK UP LINE. I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR THE HELP.

AND AIRSLOT, THANKS FOR THE OFFER TO BORROW THE TANK, MY BUDDY WHO LIVES RIGHT DOWN THE STREET HAS ONE I WILL BORROW.

THANKS GUYS ;)
