Check Engine Alarm

[cfruel]

Hey Guys,

I just put a new fuel line and primer bulb on my 1999 Johnson 150 carb engine yesterday. The old bulb was not staying hard and the line was looking old. I bought marine grade line and a new bulb from West Marine and installed it. I put it in the water today and the engine idled for a few seconds and the Check Engine alarm came on. I looked up the alarm and the book said it is a fuel problem. So...do I need to install a Johnson bulb to make it work correctly? What could I have done wrong installing the line? Please Help!

Thanks,

Cy

Not going to get on ya for not using BRP products, but replace the fuel line to the motor with BRP 3/8" fuel line use a BRP bulb and ratchet clamps. Make sure your fuel selector switch is on the right tank full of fuel and prime bulb untill hard. Make sure the arrow on the bulb is going towards the motor not the tank. If it persists then test the vacuum switch.

Well thanks for not getting on me....chalk it up to lack of experience and the fact that the BRP dealer was closed at the time I decided to try and fix it. I am surprised to hear that BRP equipment makes that much difference. I'll have to pick that stuff tomorrow...it's gotta be fix for a tourny on Sat.

Any one want to buy some 3/8 marine grade fuel line...practically brand new...I paid $3 a foot...I make you a good deal!
