Found at least one of my fueling problems. About a quart of rusty water in the bottom of my tank along with about the same amount in the fuel filter. I hoovered out the tank and changed the filter, also flushed the lines and ran the motor on the hose to clean out the carbs. I thought the old black tombstone was smoking a bit too much. Another problem is the supply fuel line was reduced at the pickup to 5/16 instead of 3/8; now that has also been rectified.
I'm thinking that the problem with the supply side vacuum may be this: The fill, vent, and supply lines are at the rear of the tank. At rest and getting on plane, the boat is stern down and I think that with the tank full, the fill, vent, and supply lines are full of gas with a big air bubble at the front of the tank. This is why popping the cap on the fuel fill did not burp the system. Thoughts?
Hey Aussie, flame on!
