6. STARTING THE ENGINE
FUEL HOSE CONNECTOR
2. Connect the fuel hose connector to
the outboard motor. Install the
outboard end fuel hose connector
with the clip toward the outside.
Be sure the fuel hose connector is
securely snapped in place.
-1 If the outboard endfuel hose
connector is forcibly installed in the
reversed direction, the fuel hose connec-
tor O-ring seal can be damaged. A
damaged O-ring seal can cause a fuel
leak.
PRIMER BULB
3. Hold the primer bulb so that the
outlet end is higher than the inlet end.
The arrow on the primer bulb points
upward. Squeeze the primer bulb
several times until it feels firm,
indicating that fuel has reached the
carburetors. Check for fuel leaks and
repair any leaks before starting the
motor.
Do not squeeze the primer bulb
when the motor is running because
this could cause the carburetors to
overflow.
