Splash just take it back to your dealer and ask them to sort it, first port of call, your angry with them for not doing a water test so why not let them sort it

I'll eat my hat if its not the NON - YAMAHA tank & fittings your trying to use.

Lets re - cap.

Dealer runs boat on GENUINE YAMAHA tank & fittings and runs fine.

You hook up old tank you found somewhere and boat runs for a few minutes until dealer fuel runs out of system.

Now you can't get it to start because you have the wrong TANK & Fittings.

Good luck

Hey Splash, I've read from start to finish and I would like to make sure 100% that you did take the plug off the fuel hose that connects to the engine and try to pump fuel using the bulb? I know my spare fuel hose/priming bulb does not have removable fittings, both tote tank end and engine end are crimped on (cheapy but it's just a back up) Now I just tried on my spare tank and if the ball Bering in the fitting is not depressed the primer bulb will stay soft and not pump any fuel, only when I depress the ball bearing in that fitting did the primer start moving the fuel and the bulb eventually go firm. Like others have said I think the fuel hose fitting is not making a proper connection on the motor and therefore primer not moving fuel. Did the tank/ fuel Line come with the motor or was it from a previous boat? When I bought my spare tank I had to make sure I chose the right fitting as different outboard brands have different fittings. which plug does your fuel line plug look like?

I have the c-tek 7000, it can get pretty hot when has a bit of work to do, it has built in thermal cutout so I wouldn't worry too much.

Good luck with it all

Cheers

Dealer runs boat on GENUINE YAMAHA tank & fittings and runs fine. On what basis do you believe this actually occurred?? No proof exists that this even occurred. (separator was bone dry with no fuel residual inside upon pickup of boat).

You hook up old tank you found somewhere and boat runs for a few minutes until dealer fuel runs out of system. Dealer to confirm

Now you can't get it to start because you have the wrong TANK & Fittings. Only time will tell after I buy a genuine Yami fuel tank with genuine make connector.

Crunchy - which plug are you referring to? I cannot see any plug????

This is the fastest thread I've ever seen. If finga was on board it would be up to 20 pages OR if the motor was an etec.

[choppa]

its not the tank.,,,, crikery the tank hooked up to my 30hp Merc,,, also ran the 9hp Johnno,,, and prior came from Suzuki,,,,,

it has to be revolving around the fitting

recap again,,,, splash placed "open ended hose direct into fuel tank",,, primed,,, and fuel came out the other end

placed hose/fitting back on tank,,,,, nothing

Dealer has supplied hose and fitting only,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, SPlash supplied tank

I'll eat my hat with you if it's not the fitting on the tank,,,,,,,,,, unscrew it from the elbow,,,, replace it with a male thread to 6mm hosetail and retry it,,,,,,

now about your M&G,,,, how much does the Golf Course charge for a round of 18 up there?

thanks boys..choppa - i'll make some enquiries for you ...:-)

totally agree. asks questions and then gets cranky if he doesn't like the answers.
Take it back to the dealer if you're not competent or confident mate.

[Crunchy]

Right so it's the tank end fitting then, thought it might be the engine end fitting, either or that's the likely cause...easy fix no need for new tanks, new hoses, new primer bulb or even a new engine...just a new tank fitting as per the link on astro's post. Not sure you can blame the dealer for this one.

Mate,
Why would you need to buy a genuine tank, Should'nt one be supplied with the outboard when you got it.

I wasn't suggesting the plastic holding the fuel made the differance but the fitting in the no yamaha tank.
