Yes I agree. Last fall when I bought the boat the guy told me that the gas tank did not work?
I took the floor up and cleaned all gas out and dryed the tank to be sure I got every thing out and it was clean.
Then I replaced all hoses and doubled clamped them. Whenn replacing the hose to the vent, I found the vent all rotted and not even there anymore, just a hunk of white crap. There was the proble all along.

Since then I added the racor and have had no problem all May,June July. But that is when I added the Mercury (LOL) all parts that BS changed when trouble shoting the motor before were used parts, so there could be issues there as well. He did test things with a meter and checked all numbers with the book to besure they were with in spec's.

Man I wish I could just buy a new motor and be done with this stuff for a while!! Its feast or famon here at my house!! Last winter I was loaded!! Bought all new eletronics, hard top, and a bunch of other stuff. This year I am pooer then dirt!!

Well I see nothing from the tank to the motor??? I was good, But I will have to wait for help to go any further.

I never did look at that new filter before installing it, I have had on more then one occasion bought auto parts that had shavings from being made in them, I wonder if thats the case with the filter housing?

I don't think is anything from the tank to the motor. But fuel pump on I have no idea?
We did rebuild the fuel pump with a kit, the only thing that we did not change was the ck vaules?
We had all the carbs off, cleaned, and BS checked all the setting I assume? and we put all new gaskets.

well I think I am going for another Tuna if the weather holds out on wed.? Sputter or no sputter!!
