[kthomas65]

im thanking a 18.5 footer with a 150 is starting to look good.

If the fuel pump ruptures it will flood the pulse cylinder. Does your bulb seem to stay firm if you hold light pressure opn it or does it seem to bleed off slowly?

Skeeter you will get better mileage if you keep your foot out of it!!! LOL! Still doing ok?

 

[kthomas65]

You will have to remove the pulse supplyhose and then pump it. I have seen several that leak like that. This is a internal leak and will flood only 1 cylinder, It may be such a small leak that it isn't effecting the performance enough to notice it. Because the bulb gets firm, I don't suspect the choke solenoid. Most buls will bleed back off some. If you want to check the solenoid give me a call and I will walk you through a test. </p>
