Procedure

Fuel System Priming and Fuel Pressure Gauge Removal

4. Secure the fuel pressure gauge purge hose into an appropriate fuel container to collect excess fuel. Components involved: (a) Fuel pressure gauge purge valve, (b) Schrader valve, (c) Purge hose to appropriate container. 5. Open the fuel pressure gauge purge valve and turn the ignition key on. The fuel pumps will run for approximately three to five seconds. 6. Turn the ignition key off and then on. The fuel pumps will run for approximately three to five seconds. Continue this ignition key on/off cycle until the purged fuel is relatively clear of air bubbles. WARNING: If the outboard fuel system does not prime within 15 key-on events, check for leaks in the fuel supply line to the outboard. Repair as needed. If no leak is found, the fuel supply system to the outboard may be too restrictive — correct the condition and try again. 7. Remove the fuel pressure gauge. Tools: Fuel pressure gauge with purge valve and purge hose, Appropriate fuel container
