93 J150GLETR
Took the boat out and made my first long runs of the year this past weekend. Day one had no problems, but day two had a minor issue I am hoping someone can help me with. Motor runs great but when I stopped to fish on two occasions for an hour or so, it gave me trouble trying to start back up. Cranked it for a bit and then thought to check the bulb. It was a bit soft (not sucked flat) and when I pumped it back up the motor started immediately. This only happened twice in an 8 hour day including many runs and restarts, but I'd like to track it down. I'm thinking since it runs perfectly once started, it's probably not the fuel pump or anything. I am just running the fuel side and pre-mix my fuel. Do you think I just need to replace the bulb?
If so, which bulb should I get? I hear the OMC is best but I am having trouble figuring out which part #. Seems some of them come in parts. Does anyone have the part # for a fully assembled OMC bulb for a 93 150, 3/8" fuel hose?
On a side note, I'm curious if this motor can be pull started and how you would go about doing that. Had a starter go out last year and thought I'd jot down the procedure in case this happened again....nothing in the OEM manual.
