Re: Bad batch at BRP? Fuel line parts; don’t assume

[jerry-ahrens]

I have had a couple motors where the connector prong on the motor itself is worn or damaged… it caused the fuel connector to have a vaccume leak intermittently when the outboard was steered back and forth. It took me forever to find it. I eventually installed a a piece of clear tubing on the vaccume side of the fuel pump, then ran the boat around on the lake. When the motor would malfunction, here came the air bubbles through the fuel stream. A new connector did not fix it, rather it took the new receptacle on the motor where the fuel line connects. I certainly hope that BRP connectors aren’t going bad, cause were screwed if they are. I haven’t found any other brand that works. I’ve replaced a truck load of the ones from the big box store.
