    Location for fuel filter?

    1989 E40TLCEC outboard. Presently the inline fuel filter is under the cowlng in front of motor. Is there any reason it could not be installed behind the squeeze ball on the outside of cowling to give more room inside and make it easier to change.

    Bogging down and dying

    1989 E 40 TLCEC. Starts fine and idles but when I want to take off it bogs down and dies like it is starving for gas. I switched to my auxillary hose for my smaller motor and works fine. Could this be an obstruction in the connector that connects to motor or bad bulb
