Default fuel pickup line corroded (pic)

Good morning

Some of you may recall one of my recent posts about my motor loosing power while underway...you gave me excellent tips on the subjec which I used to troubleshoot my problem.

I started by replacing the Racor filter and fuel line priming bulb...after that we went fishing and noticed the motor doing the same thing, loosing power underway at any given speed/rpm's, a few pumps on the fuel bulb and the motor would run strong again.

Yesterday I had a little time and continued to persue this problem, I popped open the fuel tank excess cover and this is what I found; tons of exterior corrosion on the connecting fitings which leads me to think that I might have some build up inside these metal componnents, causing chocking of the fuel flow thus, giving me my loss of power problem.

I'm thinking: removing the little valve and the anti-siphon check valve (if I have one here)...and go from there...

Comments and tips are very welcome. Here's a pic:



Thanks to all

Joe
