    225 H.O. Etech problem

    I had the e-tech for about two months now and all I can say is WOW. One problem i've been having recently is when I idle or go at less than 2000 rpms like in a night tourney for at least five to ten minutes straight without getting on plane the motor will run out of gas. I know this because I can pump the bulb about six times till hard and it will run fine for another five to ten minutes on idle till it starts to run out of gas again. Any speed on plane and up to full trottle it seems fine no stalling or running out of gas. I'm wondering if there is a fuel problem or is the fuel pump only working good enough at higher RPMs and when I go to idle its not strong enough to keep the fuel flowing. I have a tourney this weekend, so I'm going to wait till next week to take into the dealer for a fix. I figure as long as I keep the speed up I will be fine for the tourney.

    My guess would be a bad fuel bulb. That's easy and cheap to replace. ZC

    I think you may have a bad fuel lift pump, Get It to your dealer when you can.

    If it were a boat fuel system restriction it should be worse at higher RPM.
