    I drained the VST , ended up with about 5 ounces of liquid of which over 50% was water, and a piece of debris was in there too. Replaced the low pressure fuel filter and the high pressure fuel filter. Used my neighbours gas tank and line and the issue seems to be fixed, however I could only go...

    loss of power , running rough '99 Suzuki/Evinrude 40hp 4 stroke

    Any suggestions please? I know there are two fuel pumps on these engines. Not sure if the symptoms I see reflect on which of the two may be malfunctioning. Today I replaced the portable fuel tank and hose, different gas - problem remained.

    Was cruising at 4700 rpm when I noticed a quick loss of rpm and power. I slowed throttle down to a slow cruise to make it home and although the motor appeared to be running rough, I made it home.

    1969 40 hp Johnson just single "speed adjustment" needle?

    On this motor is there only one "speed" adjustment on the carb? I have only a single needle located at top of carb, which I presume is the Low Speed idle adj. This needle was loose on my carb which may explain why it stalled at low speed then wouldn't start?. There is not nut or any other...
