Sunday while using my kicker, it would sound like it was throttling down and die. The bulb in the hose was pumped up but when I would squeeze it hard it would act like it was blowing out something that was pluging it up. I would pump it back up and start the motor ,,, run for awhile and same thing. If I caught it before it would die and give it a squeeze it would start running fine again till it would do the same thing over again. Any ideas before I start tearin into it?

Sounds like the anti siphon valve might be sticking, it's the barbed fitting on the tank. Running off a different fuel source may help to isolate the problem.
Never forget to double and triple check your vent on the tank too!

OK , I replaced fuel line and primer bulb, vent cap on the tank,checked the little screen in the carb . It runs great now except for a little cough at lower RPMS that was there before the other problem.. Thanks guys! :applause:
