Re: Anti-syphon valve ?????
Fixed !!!!!! I ran the boat on a 6-gal tank and still had the same problem. So, I bit the bullet and bought a new fuel pump ($220 !). Installed this weekend and test ran her. Problem solved. Idled for 30 min straight and then took right off when I gave her gas. No more stalling or having to pump the bulb. Can you imagine - the motor (a 2003) was put on new last season and had less than 100 hrs. The previous owner mentioned he had this problem from the get-go. He shoulda had it fixed under warranty ! I'd like to repair the old pump. Might anyone know where I can pick up a VRO re-build kit for this motor ??? I heard OMC used to sell kits for rebuild - but that Bombardier might not any longer. Supposedly, its the rubber diaphragm in the pump that goes bad. Its highway robbery to buy a whole new pump when you could just replace the diaphragm.
