Pan Pan from coat guard with a boat in distress from a Shark???
Sounds damn good!
Ok, I can confirm that I definitely don't have one of those. I have a brass "hose barb" threaded into the tee at the top of the draw tube. So this time I went full out and tried running the engine from a Jerry can (50:1) straight into the fuel pump, bypassing everything including the oil injection system, and I'm still getting air!!!! I've ordered another fuel pump, it comes tomorrow. Maybe there is a microscopic leak in the diaphragm? It was only $50 for the new pump. Of course the old pump is brand new also so if this turns out to be the problem I am going to write a nasty review about the old one....
Really great information thanks for your video.
I have an air leak but darned if I can find it. I replace all the hoses from the tank up to the engine, re-taped the nipple coming out of the tank, replaced the primer bulb, and even tried bypassing the fuel connector going into the engine, and no luck. The engine runs good at speed, and will idle nicely for a few minutes but you can watch at idle as the fuel filter fills up with air, eventually starving the carburetors of fuel so it stalls. If I prime it with the bulb all the air squeezes out (I assume going though the carburetors) and it fires right back up, only to repeat the process. I even tried putting an electric pump near the fuel tank hoping that if I pressurize the system I can see where the gas is leaking out and find my problem, but no gas seems to leak out anywhere! Although the problem goes away when the electric fuel pump is running, no air in the system and the engine will idle indefinitely. But seemingly no gas leaking anywhere either. There is a semi-transparent tee where the oil pump delivers oil to the fuel before the fuel pump, and I can also see bubbles there (when the electric pump is not running or all the time before I installed it), so I know the leak is either at or before that tee. I also replaced the lines running from the oil pump to the tee, but did not replace the check valve. I've also replaced the fuel pump and the pulse hose. That made no difference. I think I can rule out the problem being at the tank because the electric pump does not seem to draw in any air. When it is running there is no air entering the system. Any ideas? I'm kind of running out of things to replace. As a second issue, does anyone know whether that electric fuel pump will cause the oil injection system to stop working due to the outlet of the oil pump being at pressure rather than suction? For now I've mixed oil in the tank just in case but holy heck does it smoke now, so I assume the oil pump is still working, but I don't know how to tell other than running it like that for a while and seeing if the oil usage from the oil reservoir is appropriate for the amount of fuel used. But ultimately I need to find the leak so I can remove the electric pump.
Do you have an anti syphon valve on your pick up tube on the gas tank ? If you don't know ? it will inside the fitteing between the gas line and pickup tube . If it is bad it will flutter inside the valve with a basket ball effect not letting fuel to go by the ball and out of the valve . At slow speeds it will work fine , but give it more gas and it will flutter stopping the fuel . I have also seen the valve have a crack in them and do the same thing .
This will also set off a low fuel alarm on some of the johnsons . Good luck and give a shout back if you find something. Most older boats have the anti siphon valve on them that was a coast guard rule for boat builders for years .
@@sanitymaintenance573 There was nothing between the pickup tube and the engine save a two sided nipple (brass) where it passes through the side of the engine bay and the primer bulb, which lies in the engine bay. Also, the problem is the opposite, the engine runs fine at speed (there is still air bubbles but they don't build up in the fuel filter, they seem to pass through the carburetors allowing fuel to build up sufficient to run). Instead the air buildup occurs mostly at idle. I temporarily have an electric pump installed right after the pickup tube to search (unsuccessfully so far) for the leak, but it doesn't seem to affect anything when it is turned off. It does act as a check valve though, not allowing fuel to flow backwards. I am not sure what the pressure loss is across the electric pump but it can't be much, I can blow through it. So far it seems to have little to no effect on operation when it is not running. Maybe the air leaks in a little faster, but I haven't put a stopwatch to it. I really thought the electric pump was going to be the way to find the leak because if air is leaking in under suction gas should leak out under pressure, but so far no. It seemed like a good idea though. Thankfully it was less than $20. I think next I am going to replace the tee where the oil injector feeds into the gas line. It is plastic. Maybe it has a crack or something that I cannot see. I'll use a brass one. If that doesn't work I'll remove the gas "plug" connection to the engine, I don't know why it even has one this motor weighs 400 lbs and does not come off the boat without a hoist. Plus the wiring harness and all. Maybe it's there so you can carry an extra tank or something, but I never do, I don't even have one nor felt the need for one. As a side note, one thing I might do if I can get the leak resolved and the engine does run fine with the electric pump installed (but not turned on) is fit it with an intermittent push button (one that does not stay on unless you are pushing it). It's great for priming the engine! Way better than having to go to the back of the boat and squeeze the primer bulb. But that isn't nearly as important as finding this damn leak. My original plan was to remove the electric pump once the leak was resolved. They say they aren't safe because they keep running even if the engine quits, say in an accident or something. But I think if I had an intermittent button and used it only for priming that wouldn't be a concern. But the damn leak....
@@sanitymaintenance573 Could the anti siphon valve be in the tank? I am reluctant to try and remove the pickup tube because it's in there pretty good and I don't want to damage the tank (it is plastic or fiberglass). Also the temporary electric pump (located immediately after the tank) does not draw air. When the electric pump is running no air accumulates in the filter (which is my observation point since it is semi-transparent and I can see the bubbles in it). The engine is a Mercury V-135, if that helps. There is no low fuel alarm that I know of, but it does have a fuel gauge on the dash, which works fine. Tank is nearly full right now.
@@Nonplused I posted a video just for you .
Worked for me. Appreciate the good info!
I bought a engine 1991 40 horsepower Evinrude outboard engine with the VRO2 and it's leaking oil right out of the rear of the propeller and now I'm trying to figure out the issue this video may help me The problem is again like I said it's hasn't been hooked up to anything I just recently hooked up the VRO tank to the engine and notice this oil dripping down from the rear of the outboard propeller.
Sounds sane to me. Thanks for this.
666 subs... ima sub to get you over the devils hump
my f150 is a 2014 . Maybe that's what's wrong. I'll try this before replacing the motor.
Wow. I went with the Coyote, though I like the EB. How many miles do you think you covered during that week?
Thank you I will definitely try this first.
I have two 40hp Yamaha 2 strokes. One with prime start and electric starter. The pther is all manual pull-cord start and manual chocke. They both starts at high idle an depending on temperature falls down to low idle after a moment. It telle me that it can't be the prime start mechanism that does this, because one of the engine doesnt have prime start carb. It must be the electronic ignition module or something. The black box on the starboard side of engine who does this.
For being an installer I am surprised about the lack of knowledge. I am nobody and I even know you can buy the same model with GPS. Sheesh
Hey I’m looking to purchase a sunbird 202 and throw a new Suzuki on the back but I was worried these might be a little nose heavy being a walk around what do you think?
honestly most of the sunbirds ride pretty high in the front . my only worrie would be gas line and gas tank clean up for a new engine .
Thank you so much brother you really saved the day on this one. It worked great!
No offense, brother, you lost me with the Bud Light 😂😂😂
I just bought the exact boat but with an I/o I was wondering if you still have the soft top around and if so are you interested in selling it. Thanks Eric
I have no clue where it went ?
My yamaha 50 2004 has that problem... i guess they hired a laid off NASA rocket scientist to redesign the old tried and true manual choke and tried to make our lives easier?
I like these beer talks uncut. You should do a series and label them that and just tell us stuff about outboards. Im working on mine currently, I already deleted my VRO, but I still enjoyed listening to you.
I Just bought these for my 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis Gs and the Low Beam shine Better than the High Beam
I have a 2010 Evan rude 225. It's on a pontoon boat. We put a new switch in a new key switch and started up. Ran fine for 30 or 40 minutes. We parked 3 and a 1/2 4 hours later. Every time I turn the key switch I blow the fuse on the side of the motor...10 amp. It also works the tilt trim.But for some reason all we do is blow the fuse. I pulled the motor cover off and noticed the left hand thermostat cover was broken. I've never had that cover all since the beginning of Spring but it's broken so I don't know if the motor got hot. We have no reason to conclude it. Did I mean we drove around the boat for 40 minutes. Don't know. I just don't know what's going on with the fuse.
Dude, THANK YOU so much!! My Yamaha 50 TLR would start, hit low idle, then die. It was driving me nuts. After I saw your video, I replaced the diaphragm (41), both gaskets (42) since I was in the area, I figured I would put in a new set, and that dang O-Ring (40). My motor is a 2007 and that O-Ring was hard as a rock and shiny, it was actually hard to see because it took the shape of the Reed valve diaphragm thing it was on. As a matter of fact, the O-Ring broke getting it out. I put on the new O-Ring and put everything back together. Probably a 20 minute job. My engine starts and runs perfectly. The Prime Start hasn't worked this good since 2007 and I keep an extra O ring in my parts now if it ever acts up again. Thank you for helping me out!

The best thing u can do ,for that unit..I have one on my 3 HP. Industrial unit and have an hour meter mounted on my magnetic starter as well
Thank you! I will be helping a neighbor with his 115 soon.
nice kicker I have been informed that the kicker needs to be on port side so it's prop wash won't interfer w/ the transducer (which are always on star side) is this more crapola misinformation that's going around nowadays.do you tie the kicker to the main engine an use the main engin as a rudder? nice video
If you remove the front rail, how do fill the scree holes?
That is definitely what not to do. That may just sink your boat.
Wow, this was exactly what i was dealing with and I had no Idea. Great video.
Great set up! I would like to do something similar. I live in a condo and my garage is separate from the condo. I'm sure I'm not allowed to mount an antenna to the outside of the garage like you did. Do you have any tips or ideas on what I could do? I'm only about half a mile from lake erie. Thanks!
Is it normal for a scupper hole to take on water? I was looking at a boat today and it would go through the scupper hole on to the boat. I need help

Hard to start 70hp with red lever in normal position when cold. If I move red lever on prime start to middle position starts right away . Once started move red lever back to normal position . ..after that it Fires up instantly the rest of the day . Do you think the o ring is the issue here ? Diaphragm is in good condition . One of the Reed valve seemed a bit too open . Closed the distance some but no change .
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? i have the exact same thing happening to me at the moment!!
@@thaaleijon3292 sadly no . I remove cowling and place red lever on prime start to center position on initial start . A bit annoying but works every time. I had removed and cleaned carbs. Wanted to take prime start assembly apart and test it . But Found that one of the screw heads on prime start solenoid was stripped and chose to leave it alone. Perhaps next time I pull carbs I’ll attempt getting that out and replace it. Danger marine has a good tutorial video on this prime start system.

An old 2 stroke main motor isn't worth much in the first place so you don't need to worry about the hours. But the problem with a trolling on old fashioned carb'd 2 stroke main is that you don't have adequate control over your troll speed. A modern 4 stroke or DI 2 stroke is fine and most offer precise RPM control with troll modes but you just can't do it on a 30 year old 2 stroke.
Would a 2004 170cc have this issue?
Appreciate your video. I'm doing it now on a 200hp johnson. I replaced all of the engine electric from top to bottom, all thats left to do is timing and fingers crossed. Again thank you and wish me luck👍
Did it work better after folding shield down? Just bought these and trying to decide if I’m installing or returning
Awesome!!!! Thanks man, gonna try this What size pans were they ?
This was simple enough I was fixing to buy that tool but not now thanks!
do you know where to get new floor panels and what's the cost ?
I bought a 40hp two stroke I believe that it's all good. Carbs were rebuilt a year ago. It doesn't start as easily as I would think. I crank on it about half a dozen times or more in intervals. Once warm it starts good. I don't understand this unit. It has key push down and button in the middle of throttle/ gear selector. I don't understood what it all does. Never owned one like this. They told me to push and hold button on gear selector while turning key. I primed it. It just doesn't start very easily. Battery drops a bit by the time it starts. Any suggestions?. 165 G3 Yamaha. 2004.
holy crap i been runnin with those rod lockers full of water for god knows how long. cleared the drain holes today. i am so glad i came across this video. do you know what kind of material the covers are made of? mine are cracked on the edge....also do you have any info on how to convert to rod storage?
I just bought 2004 Triumph 170 I don’t fully understand what’s going on here do I have to worry?
I have been thinking about that same idea for a year, I am going the same route. Besides it's extra security if your out far and your main engine has issues, good piece of mind.
Quick and Easy, great advice!
