90 Hp Johnson losing prime, stalls after 5-10 minutes at low idle
DRIFTER_016 replied to Doctrt's topic in General Discussion
EXACTLY!!! And that's why the OP said they tried a completely different setup including different hoes and fuel tank and had the same problem, eliminating the line and tank as possible problems. Post #6 of this thread: -

To me this sounds like a vacuum issue. At idle there is not enough vacuum to operate the fuel pump properly. I would start off by checking the vacuum line that connects the fuel pump to engine. If it's OK it could be a leak in another vacuum line somewhere. It's possible that there is a gasket leak somewhere as well. Could also be a defective fuel pump. Might be worth the $$$ to have your local mechanic diagnose the issue and then you could either fix it yourself or get him to do it. -
Sounds like a charger issue then.

Yep, usually a blown fuse if it's doing that. If the battery is old and not accepting a charge it can boil dry and blow the fuse. If the battery is OK it could also be a short of some kind.

This is a web sized version of a pano image I took last fall. Still working on the full size image. I may or may not print it depending on the final outcome. It's created from 7 images and the full size version is 15,177 X 2848 pixels and 34MB in size.

I would just have it done with spray on truck bedliner. That's what I'll be doing to mine when I redo it. Regular paint of any kind just doesn't hold up. You may want to contact local shops that do spray in bedliners and see how much they charge. If too much I would get some of this and do it myself. I will be going this route because there are no local places here to get it done. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/bedArmor/ Comes in spray and roll on versions http://www.duplicolor.com/products/truckBedCoating/ The only problem is it's black. To get coloured bedliner you would need to see one of the local shops. Line-X does colour bedliner. http://www.line-x.ca/index.php?page=home

I've caught tons on Michigan Wigglers (A.K.A. Spring Wigglers) in orange, yellow or chartreuse.

My guess is it just pops off like a hub cap. Use a big flat screwdriver to try and pop it off.

You're all in luck!!! My nice cool weather is set to hit Ontario today and tomorrow. Enjoy the nice cooling torrential rains and scattered tornadoes. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/severe-storms-loom-for-parts-of-ontario-risk-of-brief-tornado/9539/

Seen two boat trailers with broken leaf springs here this year alone. First one was a large pontoon boat that had the top spring on the left side break and the axle swung backwards damaging the trailer and boat. Second is Mr. Blizzard's boat trailer. Both bottom leafs were broken. The springs have since been replaced.

All y'all are doin' it wrong. This is all ya need. A styreefoam cooler, a fan, a down spout elbow from yer gutters and some ice!!! -
Haven't heard about that stuff but bunk glides work great, although more money. You won't have to worry again after they're installed. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Boating/Boating-Trailer-Accessories/Guide-Ons-Bunks|/pc/104794380/c/104781780/sc/104366880/E-Z-Slide-Trailer-Pads/737191.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fguide-ons-bunks%2F_%2FN-1100650%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104366880%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%25253BMMcat104794380%253Bcat104781780&WTz_l=SBC%253BMMcat104794380%3Bcat104781780%3Bcat104366880

I hope you're enjoying the broken AC at work Borger. I bet those 16 hour shifts in that sweat box are awesome!!!! FYI, there are some real hotties here in YK. That pic looks more like a Hamiltonian to me. :tease:

I hear it's a little toasty in TO. Just to tick y'all off we had record low (62 years) temps early this morning. It was a beautiful 4*C. :tease: Currently a comfortable 11 degrees. Remember to bring your pets inside and don't leave the chillin's in da car. Cause they'll melt.

Probably a Chevy wasn't it? They seem to have issues with their spare tire support cables.

My Mercury Mercmonitor Smartcraft gauges let me do the same. It's awesome!!!! I also would be lost without GPS and Minnkota Powerdrive with universal sonar, auto pilot and co-pilot is great too. One of those I-Pilot Terrovas would be even better!!!!

You can double that fuel figure. I used over $200 on my recent trip and that was 100kms each way plus trolling time. I ran at approximately 40-50kph and made the trip in 3 1/2 hours each way so that's 7 hours for a 200km trip. Much cheaper to drive and take the ferry. Faster too!!!

Sounds like the battery may have boiled dry. Need a new one.

Seems it's not as old as first thought. http://www.adn.com/2013/07/09/2968740/biologists-reduce-estimate-of.html

No problem. FYI all of Gierach's books are a good read. -
The old saying was: "what follows two days of rain in Ontario?" Answer: "Monday!!!"

I'm doing the Atkins thing. Looking forward to fruit and veggies again in the future. -
There's a gnarly cell heading straight for TO. It ain't gonna be over for a while.
