Fuel System Upgrades For 2007 Mercury 225 Optimax! #outboards #mercuryoutboards #fuelfilter
In this episode, I installed a new fuel filter in the Vapor Separator Tank and finished siphoning the remaining fuel in the boat. Everything went fairly smooth until I discovered the main fuel line going to the engine was incorrect. Evidently, the previous owners scabbed a 5/16 inch fuel line (inner diameter) to the main fuel line coming from the primer bulb. The engine was starving for fuel! A 3/8 inch hose should be used and explains why the engine was running so poorly. Enjoy!
