I am sorry if this is a completely ignorant question on my part.
I picked up a fishing boat and motor. (I am new to boats and boat motors)
It was running great....It is a Suzuki 8hp
When I prime, the bulb gets hard but the fuel "squirts" out of the fuel line at the "Y" connector and does not make it into the engine.
Until I filled the Tank right full it never did this.
I put new clamps on the lines and checked for holes/cracks in the fuel line and found none.
Is this a Tank/Prime Bulb issue or is it the fuel line...or worse a clog in the line somewhere.
Thanks in advance

..... a Y connector? the fuel line should go from the tank to the bulb to the motor .... if it squirts fuel there is a leak and you should fix it, with the line leaking the motor will not run ........
