After completely replacing every part of the 1989 Honda 10HP on the back of my 1982 Cat25, I got tired of it not working and traded it for a 1999 15 HP Honda.

I put it in my trunk and took it back to my boat and hooked it up to the gas via the quick connect they gave me. Whenever I squeeze the prime bulb, gas squirts out into the engine compartment from right behind the motor part of the connector and runs thrugh a hole down the side of the motor. The motor runs great as long as I keep squeezing the bulb, but if I let go it runs out of gas.

I've tried four different kinds of Honda connectors, and two different ones of the same kind, and I get the same thing, so I think it's a problem on the motor end. :(!

I can't beleive something serious is wrong, since it worked fine when I bought it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you had a look at the "O" ring inside the end of the connector. If it has been nicked or cut it wont hold a prime and will leak.

Hey Ricky,

It might not me the connectors.

You might want to check the fuel hose itself. Sometimes, a flap of rubber will pull loose on the inside of the hose and restrict normal fuel flow.
