Thread: Fuel bulb not getting tight like to used to ...

Could easily be o ring in connection if your motor has it. Newer ones I noticed don't have disconnect. I always liked disconnect to run motor out of fuel.

Any ideas?

Put some Seafoam in it and run the snot out of it Dwayne

Yea pawpaw, I was thinking that could be the problem.
Will try it with some fresh fuel next time I go out.

It had sea foam in it but it is a 25 and it would take all day to run out of fuel and I usually on run for a few minutes.

My Tohatsu 25 FS has done that with the soft bulb, but it had a pinch in the hose from banging around on the highway. Make sure nothing is mashing or kinking the hose.

Yea I thought about that too but didn't see a pinch in the hose. I did add a water separator in the hose but it has been working fine with it up to Saturday.

Randy, with your EFI engine it should have electric fuel pump thus really no need to pump bulb. It should just pick it up and go. If it is leaking down some then it would be check valve in bulb but you should also have a check valve in the pump itself so pump dosnt run dry. Turn key on, count to 5 and crank.
