73 Mako 22 Fuel Tank issue

[yachtman32]

Is there a filter screen on the pick up tube of this model/tank? Having some fuel delivery issues and when I switched to the kicker motor tank the issue went away .

Thanks!

I can't speak to the strainer, but my fuel starvation issue was the check valve in the hose fitting at the fuel tank. If you can't use the primer bulb to get a easy, constant stream of fuel I'd definitely take the time to pull the check valve and pickup apart.

You can look at my build thread and see what I found. I hope it helps, and I hope it is an easy fix.

Thanks Mugwump4 thats a good idea. Do you have a link to the build thread you spoke of?
