    25 hp won’t stay running

    Two-stroke 25 hp serial number 0T487221. Engine will not stay running unless you constantly pump the bulb. Have replaced fuel line and bulb with OEM mercury items. Didn’t know if this has a pulse pump or anything like that where should we check next? Thank you.

    On eBay and Amazon 25 HP two stroke fuel pumps are less than $20.00. Did you open the vent on the fuel supply?
