Burned my 150XP this morning
Just an FYI don't use Tygon fuel lines for your priming system on a 90 Evinrude 150 XP they will melt on your first wide open run across the lake http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/crying.gif I took a 3 mile ride across the lake this morning, was idling around looking for structure and my motor stalled, I thought it was strange because it never stalled on me so I figured what the heck might as well fish while I'm here, I fished for about 30 mins and decided to fire it back up to go to another spot, well I definitely fired it up touched the key and POOF the engine was on fire. Went to grab my extinguisher and noticed I never put it back in my boat this spring http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/embarassed.gif Oh well the cowling works for a water bucket in a pinch. Took it home and saw that all the Tygon fuel line was melted but otherwise all looked good, put in some BRP fuel line and she touched right off, looks like I lucked out this time http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif

Sorry to let you down http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif You may want to give Fogawee a shout and see if he has the part you need for your XP. He hooked me up with a flywheel and mentioned he did have other parts if I needed any. Otherwise if you wait long enough I'm bound to grenade the old rude' sometime. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
