Re: 94 150HP XRi stalled once again after fuel tank gets down to about 10 gallons
Update on my similar issue:
A. The motor ran just fine on external tanks and the primer bulb does not suck shut.
B. When it first had the issue I did loosen the fill cap to make sure it was venting and it did not help. The primer bulb would still suck shut.
C. I checked the fule hose between the bow tank and motor and there is no restriction.
D. I still believe my issue is a cloged up pick up screen due to the boat sitting for a while with 1/2 tank of bad gas. I believe this becasue when I pulled the pick up hose out of the tank I saw tary varnish on it and also by a new problem that just popped up this last saturday. I now have a leaky lowerunit seal which may also be due to the boat sitting around and it drying out.
Anyways I don't know if this will work, but this is how I am attacking the problem: What I did was to put Por15 Marine Clean in the tank and let it slosh around for 2 days on the lake while I ran it around on external tank. I then Syphoned out the Marine Clean, but I now need to get the remainder of the(Water Based) Marine Clean out of the tank. I was thinking of using a shop vac and sucking as much out as I can and then mixing a few gallons of gas with some dry gas and then syphon it out again. I will then run an additional in-line fule filter and see what happens. It is either that or I'll let it evaporate out and keep running off the external tanks for a bit. If none of this works I will run it on external tanks all season and install a new tank in the off season. After I get my lower unit seals replaced and I have more to share I will update this thread.
Good luck with your issue and keep us informed.
