    After 2 days of fishing Enid with an uncle he had to pump the bulb to get us back to the ramp on the last trip. Pulled the diaphragm and could see one tiny hole in it. I drove to Como for a replacement and we finished out the week without a problem.

    It was doing it before. The arrow is pointing toward the motor.

    I put Seafoam in it! Runs good till it sucks gas out of bulb. Runs perfect at TopSpeed never runs out of gas

    Found my fuel problem! Cracked fuel line between the inline filter and top carburetor. Now the fun starts. Can barely see the line where it connects to carburetor.
