HELP!!! PLEASE

[Blue_Runner]

Never used Seafoam, but my brother in law is a true believer. He tells me all the time, "Get you some Seafoam"....I get tired of hearing it ;D

I'M NOT A CERT. MECHANIC, BUT I'M WITH THE REST OF YOU. *SOUNDS LIKE WATER IN THE FUEL TANK, ESPECIALLY IF LEFT SITTING UP OVER THE WINTER WITH JUST 20 GALS. OF FUEL IN'ER. *AS MUCH AS I HATE TO, I FILL UP AFTER EVERY RUN, BUT YOU'LL CUT DOWN ON THESE ISSUES IF YOU DO.
ALSO, I'VE GOT A BUD THAT ALWAYS YAPS ABOUT SEAFOAM. *I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES AS YET WITH MINE BUT I MIGHT TRY IT WHEN I DO. *

Here's a few more thoughts. Wellcraft has in the past put a sock like fuel filter on the bottom of the pickup tube in the tank. You have to remove the pickup to get at it (not difficult) and it can cause a terrible fuel restriction. When you slow down it can clear up a little but when you put the hammer down it can't flow enough for long. Another possibilty. is there a filter where the fuel line enters the carb, most times there is. If it runs good for any amount of time it's probably not the carb so that's some good news. Good luck,

Another possible fuel restriction in the pickup is the anti-siphon valve which can go bad.

WELL WHEN IT GOES FROM RUNNING WELL TO RUNNING BAD THERE IS NO SLOW ABOUT IT. IT STARTS RUNNING ROUGH FASTER THAN YOU CAN BLINK.

AND AIRSLOT IF YOU COULD ASK YOUR BUDDY IF HE HAS ANY IDEAS, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.


THANKS FELLOW, CANT TEAR ANYTHING APART TONIGHT THE HURRICANE'S RAIN HAS MADE IT MY WAY.

You may want to consider removing the anti-siphoning valve.

THAT IS TWICE SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE ANTI-SIPHONING VALVE. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT IS OR WHAT THE HELL IT LOOKS LIKE. :'(

IS IT IN THE TANK? IN THE FUEL LINE?

(ON THE TRAILER?JUST KIDDING ;D)

IF SOMEONE COULD HELP A ROOKIE MECHANIC OUT THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

AND WHAT THE HELL IS THE ANTI-SYPHONING VALVE FOR ???

When you replaced the hoses, did you clean out the vent itself?...if so, sounds like you've done all you can...next step is to cut thru the sealant around tank-cover and remove sender unit...not as painful as it sounds and it'll help a LOT in finding and removing the gremlins from your fuel system... ;)...removing the tank-cover assumes there is no round access cap already in place... ;)...

[C YENSEN]

YEAH I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE TANK COVER OFF, NEEDED TO GET ACCESS TO THE HOSES. I AM GOING TO START SIPHONING THE GAS FROM THE BOAT INTO MY WIFES CAR AS WELL AS MY JEEP.

IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME OUT WHAT AND WHERE IS THE ANTI-SIPHONING VALVE. ???
