Still chasing this issues of my 04 DI 200 sputtering and smoking at idle after a run. When it does this if I pump the primer ball it smoothes out and idles fine sometimes for as long as I need but most times only for a cpl minutes at most then I need to pump ball again. But over the last month Im having issues even getting ball to pump fuel it stays empty. I just replaced fuel line from tank to motor with new evinrude ball and also found a crack in the lift pump and replaced it also. Just did a test on muffs and it is still running out of fuel at idle and sputtering/smoking and ball isnt pumping.
Im looking to remove the pickup from tank to inspect or replace if need be. Im just worried about screwing it up. Do I need to just uncsrew the nut at base of the 90° and lift out the pickup tube? Also any recomendations on new tube and screen?
Motor is on an 04 Champion 188 elite
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated
Ive got a few pick of top of fuel tank and cracked lift pump also
