    I I don't really see any of the typical indicators of a Reed Valve problem. • Hard starting • Erratic idling • Unburned fuel spitting back out of the carburetor

    Checked Compression: Top = 92 Bottom = 99 * roughly a 7% variance which is okay... correct?

    Okay... Did the gravity feed test and the engine ran like a champ for over 10 min. without pumping the bulb. I kept it running and lowered it to the ground, and she died with in 2 min at medium throttle. I tried testing the pulse but was difficult to feel much by pulling the rope. Definitely...

    Makes sense that it might be carb related due to the fact it was running fine until I rebuilt the carb over the winter because it was a new motor to me and I had no idea when it was last done. I rebuilt using an OEM kit replacing the old cork float. The first thing I did when I encountered the...

    It will die at idle and also at increased rpm. after bowl is empty (3 min). I double checked the pump assembly because I thought I must have made a mistake the first time. Looks correct according to manual and several youtube videos. I will try your gravity trick tomorrow. Thank you so much...

    Okay, so I checked the tank intake tube. The screen looks clear. I sprayed it good with some carb cleaner, made a fresh cut in the hose, new clamp and used silicone tape before I tightened it all down.

    Tank is venting well. Carb hose is spitting fuel. The pulse port look aligned from what I can see.

    Check pressure with my hand as I pull the rope? I did not check pick-up. I have the original evinrude tank, does that thread out? Sorry... I am a newbie to this.

    Yes, those lines are new. I used a pipe cleaner and it appears to be clear. How can I tell if it is sealing correctly? Do I need to use Peratex liquid gasket?

    I am working on a 1976 Evinrude 9.9. It ran fine when I put it away for winter. Now...It will run great but only if I pump the fuel bulb every couple minutes, but dies if I do not. I rebuilt the carb over the winter and again after I noticed the issue. I also rebuilt the fuel pump twice (w/OEM...
