Soft and Supple

[cterrebonne]

easiest way to see if your fuel pump is bad is to start squeezing the primer bulb as if you were priming the engine while the boat is underway. By do that your hand will be acting as the fuel pump. In other words, if the boat can runs while you are squeezing the primer bulb then it stops when you stop. It should be the fuel pump.

make sure the vent on the portable tank is open, like ct says, is ball collapsed or still firm?

Vent is open on portable tank. Bulb is softer but not collapsed, I know it isn't supposed to stay firm. Here is the pump removed and then opened. I don't see any trash and the rubber looks good to me. Other than what you see, I have no clue where to go from here.

I may have missed it in previous post, but are you SURE problem is fuel or fuel delivery issue?

cterrebonne's description of squeezing the bulb got me 15 miles back up the lake one day when pump failed...

No, I am not SURE of anything except it will idle, not run under throttle.
