Give Captain Ken a call at Nelson Marine 850 234 0854, he's a wealth of information when it comes to Yam sterndrives.

You could try Welland Auto marine, I've heard they do a good work about 1.5 hr drive from TO.

Thanks for the reply, I have two tanks on the boat and have replaced one check valve but this problem still happens on both tanks. Would a blocked breather in the main tank cause this to happen?

Guys,

I recently bought a different boat that came set up with a yam 9.9 four stroke kicker, it ran fine for the first couple of trips but on the third trip it cut out after running for about and hour.

I noticed that the primer bulb on the line had been sucked in, I squeezed the bulb a few times and restarted the the motor no problems. After 5 min I noticed a ticking sound coming from the motor and the primer bulb was getting soft. When I squeezed the bulb the ticking sound went away. I was told to replace the check valve in the fuel tank which i did and also replaced the fuel line from the water separator to the kicker because the internal diameter was too small. This really didn't make a difference. My question is has anybody ever had an issue like this and should I replace the fuel pump? or does it sound like a fuel starvation problem.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Dave.
