Fuel recirculation lines 1988 85HP

[cjac2879]

I am looking to replace the fuel recirulation lines on this motor, but according the picture I have from the manual doesnt look anything like mine, I dont have nearly the amount of lines as it shows. Is this the recirculation line here in the middle?

And what is this line here

Thanks in advance, I cant find them anywhere in the manual

It looks like the bottom picture is showing an improperly routed feed line. Mine is directed around the front of the intake along the bottom (under and infront of the carbs). What year and model is your force?

on my 1992 120 hp l drive, the recirc. lines are connected from the cylinder drain covers (behind the switchbox on the powerhead) back to the front where the carbs are. They are little tiny hoses, almost look like a vacuum hose.

The bottom picture is not the feed lines, the feed line goes underneath the engine, then up along the side of the carbs (port side).

The top picture, the hose is the same thickness as the fuel lines, is only about 4" long and comes out if the motor, and goes to the fuel pump.. You can see where is comes out on the bottom picture on the bottom left.

This is a 1988 85HP, sorry.. meant to put it in the title

I am just guessing if this applies to your motor but, My fuel pump is driven from the vaccum produced by the cylinders. If there is not a rod from the motor to the pump then you probably have the same set-up and that 4" line is the vaccum line to power the pump.
