Ran boat at idle an motor shut off. Pumped primer bulb an boat would idle for a few seconds. Did this 2-3 times so I never got over idle an loaded it on the trailer. Any ideas where to start? Primer bubble looks to be in good shape. Boat is a 04 ranger 522. Tried both tanks an did same thing
Had something similar happen and ended up being one of my low pressure fuel pumps leaking. Bulb would not stay hard and motor would die the first 5-6 tries before I could keep it running. It's a quick and cheap thing to check.. then get into filters and such.
Thank you sir for the help. I did notice fuel running out of the cowling once I put the boat on the trailer. Motor was trimmed up on motor sticks an the fuel was dripping from the front of cowling landing n the transom area
Yep.. that's how I found the problem.. I'm sure it could be the same thing for you, but many fuel options in there that can leak Mine was the top one of the two and was leaking from the nozzle/hose at the 10 o clock position. It was running down the edge to the bottom of the pump so it took a few times cleaning gas, then pumping and looking.. have someone pump bulb while you watch.. should see fuel dripping out somewhere.. the pumps were cheap from Amazon.. I just got 2 new ones and called it a day... good luck sir.
Update... the clear tube with element filter inside was hanging on by a thread.literaly.... tightened it down primed bubble an watched it fill up. Pretty sure that was my problem. Thanks again onewalker. Great info on this site
Awesome... love it when the fix is simple and no $$ out of pocket!! that's a WIN.. ...
Good reminder to take an occasional look under the cowling to check hoses, filter connections. A couple are under high pressure
FYI, If the motor still has the original low pressure fuel pumps, I'd replace as a maintenance item (cheap and not to bad to change)
