View the latest post Maidin Voyage not so good
- Posted by: Seif911 » May 27th, 2013, 7:56 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Good Morn' All,
So my maiden voyage was not really that good at all. The engines idle great. I got to the harbor mouth with the whole family, hit the throttle on the engines, we went maybe 100' and both engines died suddenly. Uggg!!! We were just outside of the harbor mouth and had to drop anchor.
Early that day I had to get gas, seemed ok but the gas never was close to the vent. It came up the fill hole. Thinking about that and then pulling the gas line off while we were sitting there, I found there was no gas. I looked at the vent line and it went from the gas tank, down to the floor and then back out. Hmmm....not good. I pulled the vent off, full of gas, routed the line straight up then back down the the actual vent. Had to drive back and drop off the kids that were sick from the 3 footers out there. Went back out, hit the gas and died again! Only the port engine this time.
So I suspect it is a fuel filter problem. Now I have a problem because I cannot find replacement fuel filters. They are SMI 'SMF-911' fuel filters. Anyone have any ideas where to get these from?
