My F150 4 stroke bogged down and wasn't running well this wkend. My filter bowl on the Racor filter showed some whitish sediment/junk. I changed the filter and the engine seems to be running well. I did prime the new Racor filter before installing it by filling it with gas.
I also inspected the internal Yamaha fuel filter and there was no water in it, it appeared clean.
My questions are:
1- When I empty the clear bowl under the Racor filter to check for junk/water, do I need to fill it back up or will it fill on its own? My priming bulb is between the filter and engine and does not seem to fill the bowl.
2- After I re-installed the internal Yamaha fule filter, despite it turning tight and it seeming to be well seated, there is some leak/seapage of gas after I pumped the priming bulb. Some gas and air bubbles leaked out around the top of the filter cup where the threaded collar is located. Can this be due to needing a new gasket?
Thanks
Dave
