Air at the tank connection?

[Big-HE]

When I squeeze the primer bulb I can hear air going in and out at the tank connection. when i take the hose completely off and squeeze I can hear air at he side that connects to the tank. Can this be the problem while my bulb is going limp while I'm pumping it and I can only get to one third my power while running?

I had the same thing happen to me on my Evinrude 25. I went ahead and replaced the fuel line and it fixed the problem.<br /> Good Luck!

Did you have the power problem also?

Yes, I only had a 6-gallon tank and a small motor though. After I changed the fuel line, (which was very old), the motor ran, (and still runs), like a dream. My motor was a 1977.<br /> Hope I was able to help a little!

Big He,<br /><br />I had an 85/85hp force and I ran it all day on 2 6 gallon gas tanks, unless you run it all day I don't see the need for another,
