jamiekmccue Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 My HONDA 90Hp is not receiving fuel. I started it 2 weeks ago and it was running fine. On the weekend when I had it the water ready for a days fishing -- nothing. I put petrol in just to make sure it wasn't empty. Now appears to have an air bubble and despite pumping the fuel bulp cant seem to get fuel to the motor. The fuel bulb remains empty and does not fill with petrol. Hasnt' happened before and unsure of what to. Hoping someone can offer an easy solution rather than sending to the mechanic or pulling up the floor. Was thinking of getting a new line and bulb to start with. Help please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpig Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 when you pump the primer bulb does it spring back into shape or stay squashed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchin Jack Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Fuel line plugged into motor correctly, I had it once, seemed connected but wasn't properly and no fuel, was just sucking air. Cheers, Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 As Rick said , Jamie if the line and bulb is fairly old, buy a new one. One of the problems is the valves inside the bulb malfunction & do not open & / or close properly. Also check the hose connections between the tank & the primer bulb. I had a similar problem some years ago & found the one of the hoses not sealing properly & was sucking air Have you checked the fuel filter to ensure it is not blocked Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deek Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Make sure the line isn't crimped. This happened to me. Cheers Deek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiekmccue Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks guys, will start with buying a new fuel line and bulb, and check the fuel filter for blockages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
