I have a 2017 Mercury 300XS stalling out at idle and when I check the bulb at fuel tank it is soft. Seems motor is asking for fuel but bulb want stay primed. Only does it at idle and not when running??? Any thoughts or opinions on this issue??? after I pump bulb up it crankes right up. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
take it back to the dealer and have them fix it.
just a heads up -- they will want your serial number to help.
My first thought would be to check the fuel lines and bulb for a possible air leak.
Someone will be along soon that may have some other opinions ..
Being a 2017 model if your anywhere close to a dealer i would sure take it to them to get it documented and repired
First, take it back to your dealer, second I had the same problem, it was my fuel pump, surge pump, dealer replaced mine under warranty, then they replaced my compressor, all under warranty
Thanks for input guys. I will bring it to local dealar and let them check it out.
plugs were probably not gapped properly.. the 300xs needs a bigger than normal gap or it does exactly what you are describing
Here is the plug and gap from FAQ: -IZFR7M (NGK) for 300XS: .044" Gap. Fuel is: Minimum octane 91.
Exactly
NKY Triton are you saying plug gap can cause the issue of bulb not staying primed?

You don't gap iridum plugs. This is interesting .....

You do if you want them set correctly.
However IMO that is not the OP's issue.
