i have a 15hp evinrude and when you pump primer bulb fuel spills out of fitting at outboard, put a new fitting on line and same results, i guess it has to be the fitting on outboard what do i need to do to fix and how much trouble will it be
Bubba, if you are sure the fitting is OMC (Yamaha is very similar), make sure the small black o-ring is in place on the fuel inlet shaft of the motor. If it is, make sure it is not cracked. I am assuming that all OMC OBs have this o-ring. Someone correct me if not.
That's where it should be Bubba, on the bottom. People frequently forget it's there and it falls off when you disconnect it. It is a small black o-ring about the size of a pencil eraser. It has a groove front and back that compresses to seal. A small amount of grease helps to seal also. You can pick these up cheaply at about any marine supplier.
I bet your right FR. I overlooked the new fitting part. I have had several Evinrudes that had the o-ring in the fitting, but it was not sealed in and would stay on the shaft sometimes when removed.
i bought a new fuel line assembly with quick connects on it from marine dealer i think it was made by sierra-silverado, but when you put fitting on outboard you hear it click but the fitting rides up at a angle and fuel leaks from bottom hole
Does the outboard fitting have the prong sticking out to snug against the line fitting? If not, that is what is causing the line fitting to sit crooked and leak. Get the OEM as suggested. Had that problem on a plastic tank. If it is not OEM, it's POS(IMHO). Hope you get it dry or quit smoking (if you do)
