My 1999 Ranger 518 DVS with a 200 EFI stopped running at the end of a club tournament last week.
Primer bulb would not fill I when pumped it. Came in on the TM. Replaced the bulb today. Still not getting fuel to the bulb or the engine.
I removed my bench seat to access the fuel tanks to determine if feeder tubes may be clogged or had fallen off. But, it looked like there was a decent chance I'd foul something up trying to get to the feeder tube fittings as my fuel fill hose was pushed up hard against them.
Decided to check other, less risky options before wrestling with the tubes.
I took the cowling off and pumped the bulb several times, there's a "puffing" sound coming from behind the small (oil?) tank at top of the engine. I followed the primer hose under the cowling as far as I could didn't find any dangling hoses.. It sounds like there is a disconnected hose but I can't see it.
If anyone has run into this issue, and resolved it, would appreciate your input. Thanks.
