FUEL PRIMING

If you are using a portable fuel tank,
turn the portable fuel tank vent knob
counterclockwise to the open
position.

(OUTBOARD MOTOR)
PRIMING BULB
INLET END (TANK)
Hold the fuel priming bulb with the
outlet end higher than the inlet end.
Squeeze the priming bulb several
times, until it feels firm, indicating
that fuel has reached the carburetor.
Check to be sure there are no fuel
leaks before starting the engine.
Do not touch the priming bulb with
the engine running or when tilting up
the outboard motor. The carburetor
could overflow.
INFREQUENT OR

If your outboard motor will be used
on an infrequent or intermittent basis,
please refer to the fuel section of the
