Dern it. Boat motor no make go.
So my motor starts having issues. Wot and then bogs and dies. Half throttle and it’s fine. So I install a new fuel filter and now she don’t even keep running. Starts, runs for 100 yards and no fuel in the ball. Pump ball and go another 100 yards. Dang it. Must a be bad fuel filter so i replace it.
Still no go. Still way hard to keep the fuel pumper ball thing hard. So I start tearing things apart. I push compressed air into the fuel line to see if I hear bubbles coming up in the tank.

So the anti siphon valve completely disintegrated. Wow
And here’s the next lesson, I check Amazon and I can’t get the parts for a week. And it’ll be about $34.
I go to Nobles Marine nearby cause I’m not not gonna fish for a week. Low and behold their parts department is closed. But but I walk around and right near the register they got what I want. Really! I figured they were specialty parts but no. Cool

On top it all, and the point of the second post, the parts are only $21. Much better price than amazon. So do t assume amazon is always best price.
