Anti Siphon Valve causing fuel starvation after idling
Replace the fuel lines.
Remove the anti siphon valve. (and not replace)
and
Move the fuel primer bulb to the other side of the fuel filter so that it is between the engine and the filter. (not where it is now between the filter and the tank)
From what I understand the anti siphon valves are a safety feature to keep fuel from siphoning out of the tank and into the bilge if a hose ruptures. It is a Coast Guard requirement IF the engine is below the tank. I believe the engine is considered above the tank in an outboard setup.
Reading everything I could find on the internet, it seems the preferred location for the primer bulb is as he recommends although it seems to work fine in either location. Also Pursuit Boats even on the 2015 models still have the bulb before the filter.
Has anyone had any experience regarding these two issues?
My technician's work has been very thorough and professional so far. I just want to make sure I doing the right thing.
