    gas primer bulb

    Problem i am having is that my engine was running just fine and then it just stut off like it run out of gas . So i tryed to crank it and it tryed to crank but would not fire up . So my buddy had to pull me to ramp. He has a mecury engine 175efi. so at the house i tryed again to crank my engine no go but i looked in the back compartment and saw the gas primer bulb so i squeezed it and it was not tight so keep squeezeing it til it filled fuel fiflter. It cranked right up then but i don,t know if the problem is the bulb or the lift pump on this engine . I have 225ho Fhl srm engine 2004 DI. I haven,t went back to the lake to try it again to see if it loses the prime againe. This is first time i have any problems with this motor. Don,t know how many hrs on it a lot.

    Re: gas primer bulb (triton21dan)



    Like lots of people here told me........change the bulb first........it's not very expensive.

    It sounds like the bulb...........but if it's not then it could be the fuel pump or VRO.
