well,
I fixed my boat motor this morning before work ..BUT I'd like to know why it messed up..PLease write as if you were trying to teach a 5 year old..[8D]appreciate it..

I tested it and knew it wasn't getting gas..I suspected dirt..I was wrong..anyway I unhooked all the the places where the gas hose connected..NO GAS..I fonally took the hose apart from the inline gas tank ..NO GAS.[:-]I ran a piece of weed eatter line up the gas port of the tank..still NO GAS..
My vent cap was already loosened but I lossened it more..then came the gas..now my motor works..

OK can someone please explain in pre school terms how that vent thing works..and why it's in the gas tank anyway..I do know here lately after I run the motor I have to carry a pair of Channel locks to take my gas cap off..

Thanking you all in advance ,
Chuck7
