starts/stalls

[gkelba]

have Johnson 175hp v6 model J175tlcs 1980. Went fishing 3 days ago, no
problems. Went to dock 2 days ago started, ran, no problem. went yesterday
started/ stalled.It will run for a couple seconds then stall, If I keep priming (electric choke) it will run for a while butwill not run on its own.Used different gas tank-same-. Bulb stays hard but no gas getting thru. Checked Fuel pumps look o.k. filters clean, but not surehow to check for vacuum. Any suggestions?

Re: starts/stalls

Since the electric primer relies on the fuel pump (it has no pump of its own) we can assume that the fuel pump is working unless you are also squeezing the bulb repeatedly?

Sounds like the carburetors need some help. They are easy to service.
