Had the boat out at Lake Kissimme this eweekend. (Slayed the bass by the way!) It is a 15hp tohatsu 2 stroke. Ran great for most of the trip. On the way in one evening, it started to sputter like it wasn't getting fuel. I have put fuel treatment in tank since I've owned it and it would start on first pull if it did die. Once I figured it was fuel, if it started to sputter again I would pump the ball and it kept on purring. Sometimes it wouldn't do it all day. I read some similar posts here and most pointed to the fuel line having a pin hole leak or the bulb or perhaps the tank itself. I just unscrewed the cap on the tank and noticed the gasket around the cap where it threads on the tank is broken. Do you think this could be the culprit? Could a broken gasket cause the lost pressure in the system? (83 bass in 3 days by the way) just sayin ;D
