RT189P full issues

[figueira]

I got a 2018 rt198p and every so often the motor will stall
mostly at idle but some times when getting on plane
when that happens I need to get to the prime ball and press it a few times
every time I do that I can hear the fuel coming up the line.
does this sound like a fuel line problem or motor problem.
have had the motor at the Mercury dealer and he told me its a boat problem to call ranger and take it to ranger dealer
thanks
Joe

You are getting air from somewhere . Most likely from tank to the motor

Thanks Tharris811
I guess I will call ranger tomorrow and see what they say about it

Suggest replacing the fuel demand valve. It is a low cost part and it could be starving the engine.

thanks Skeeterbait I will pick up one this week

your more than likely getting air between the prime ball and fuel tank. that is letting the fuel drain back into the tank.
