Here's my problems on my 2007 Tracker 175 TXW 60 HP: I'm not sure what was done by the previous owner. It looks like the electric fuel pump went bad and they replaced it with the wrong one. The electric plug wouldn't plug up to the "new" pump so they added all this yellow wire. There must be 6 foot of it! It was crammed down in the lower cover. They just stuck some terminals into the factory plug so it's still there. No tape or anything. Then there's this "device" with three hoses on it that is outside of the cover laying on the back of the boat. I think is a regulator. All three hoses go back into the engine cover.
The boat ran for about 4 miles just fine before it died. Then I pumped up the primer and it restarted. We made it back almost to the ramp but when I went back to idle, it died. Pumped the primer and it never would pump up hard. The engine would fire up and die again. You can pump the primer ball until your hand falls off and it will never get hard. BUT! If I remove the fuel supply where it connects to the outboard, it pumps up hard so I'm thinking it can't be the primer. I don't see any fuel coming out anywhere and the oil doesn't smell like gas and it's at the proper level.
I've taken a bunch of pictures. I hope the link works! I'd like to take all the wrong stuff off and go back stock. Is there a internet site where I can view fuel line routing and order parts?
