Good video. Thanks for helping out. Nice boat. Keep up the good work

[@larrybuehler3001]

I knew you could fix it, You da Man!

[@MarkKelly1307]

Nothing like an easy repair! Glad it’s up and running!! Yeah, we got snow up here today. It’ll be gone in a couple days but it still showed up. Not looking forward to winter for sure! Cheers, Mark

Glad it was easy fix brother.

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Good job getting it going. Glad it was an easy fix. Them floats sticking can ruin a good engine quick. Have a Blessed Evening Mr. Wallace. Justin

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Glad thats all it was!

[@FiresideCoffee]

The Ric Flair impression 😂😂. Glad you got it fixed. Preventative maintenance on that rubber hose👍. You know that rubber was going to be the next thing breaking down and causing you issues lol. Hope all is well my friend 😊

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Thanks! All is good!

Me to!

[@zacjack]

Thank you! Mine was stuck up and the pump would never kick on!

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikelangston7699]

i have the same problem. pro 170 tracker. i dont think its due to aftermarket parts. i just disassembled mine. its never been taken apart but the float was hitting the seal. i filed it down slightly and hopefully fixed this poor engineering. Im learning mercury hires the same engineering folks Boeing hires

[@angelaangel1553]

Thank u

[@fratzogmopars]

It appears cheap Chy-nesium parts have struck again.

[@jeffperkins6514]

Thanks for the video. I've got a 2003 Mercury 40 hp efi that I replaced the high pressure fuel pump in the tank. Does the fuel pressure regulator supposed to have a vacuum hose on it? I don't remember if mine had one on it and I might have buried it behind the tank when reinstalling.

Wallace boat works and knife shop. If we ain’t making, we catching…..

🤣🤣🤣

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Thats right!

[@brownsfishingadventures4001]

I have A 60 hp merc 2006 and i cant get the boat too tac up past 3600 rpm. I think this could be the issue.

[@wallacelakehomestead6616]

Good job cuz...

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Thanks cuz!

[@stedhomer]

I knew you could do it! Just like I taught you! (HAHAHA)

[@skunkedagain]

What were your symptoms? Just overflows, or was there performance or idle issues too. Thanks for sharing!

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

The boat sat up for 5 years before I got it. Rotten fuel. Thanks for watching!

[@TrashedOut]

Good job Ricky! I know that inexpensive fix took a load off your mind. Say, what is the status of the Master Sarge??? Hasn't been around in a while. Have I missed something?

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Hey Reg! It sure did! I havent heard from him. Guess he will call one day

[@2751Brandon]

I just broke mine apart last night. The air vent was draining fuel. I think I have the same problem with that gasket above the pump.

[@trulskoch1889]

What was the symptoms of your fault? Mine is draining fuel from the top hose when pumping the fuel line bladder. Sounds a bit like yours 🤔

[@2751Brandon]

@@trulskoch1889 Actually once I changed it. It did the same thing. Good luck.

[@trulskoch1889]

Do you mean it still had the same issue after the repair?

[@2751Brandon]

@@trulskoch1889 yes. It ran good for a little while. I have another intermittent problem which isn't a stuck float.

[@trulskoch1889]

Ok I see. I have a rough idle and fuel leaks when pumping the bladder. Engine is only 5 years old. I suspect the 10% ethanol additive here in Sweden takes a toll on certain rubber/plastics.

Good troublesgooting Ricky! Phil

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Hey Phil! Good to see you!

[@rcdcnc]

How’s the fuel pump holding up so far ? Been thinking about getting the cheap one aswell !

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Its doing fine! No issues so far! Thanks for watching!

[@rcdcnc]

What is wax?

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

You retired folks dont know nothing about that 🤣

[@bicyclecrashsurvivor8884]

That Mercury will keep you busy fixing instead of fishing. A Yamaha 4 stroke is the only way to go for reliability.

[@wallaceknifeworkshomestead]

Thats what I hear! But this boat was a gift, Cant beat that! Thanks for watching!
