I finally had the tanks in both of my boats drained out, cleaned out, and then refilled with ethanol free gas. That did the trick! The problem lies in the fact that ethanol gas attracts moisture (hygroscopic) and that even with the additives out there, you still get an accumulation of water in your fuel tank...even the portable tanks. Your carburetor then gets gummed up with the crap and nothing works right. Try it you won't be disappointed. You can located an ethanol free gas station by going to http://www.buyrealgas.com

I have checked filter also and have a new primer ball to put on. I decided to fish instead of work on it at the lake. It is a 94 evinrude 150. A new fuel pump is about $350 I think.

9/4/2014 9:14:00 AMit doesn't sound like the fuel being a problem...is it a outboard? could be your carburetor needs to be adjusted or cleaned out as they do get gummed out quite often, Its not getting gas after you prime the carb by pumping the bulb....could also be your fuel pump. which is really easy to replace. Many other things as well but i would start with those two things...

9/4/2014 9:15:00 AMsorry i just saw its an outboard 94 evinrude 150....yea i would definitely check the carburetor(s) and the fuel pump first...could also need to be link and synced as well to adjust the timing.
