Adam F Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I am after 1 x Quicksilver Fuel tank. Blue Warrior has 2 x steel tanks (the old fashion type) at the moment, blut I have seen Warriors with a pair of the Quicksilver jobbies on board - and they both fit neatly into the bilge pump recess. James had one lying around at his house - so ive nabbed that, just need one more. Searched and searched the web - but no cigar. They are made by Quicksilver (people who make the common throttle kits) they are red, and it is the small portable size. Help!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted April 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 Cod/ Maverick: Do you have any problems with the fuel line becoming pinched or trapped anywhere along its route - (I suspect 'no' with martin as intergral tank) I have been experiancing a 'flat spot' in the engine when excelerating. Also the engine wouldnt start this afternoon. On closer inspection I discover that the fuel line was picnhed slighly - after realeasing it she started - but flat spot still remains - althoug fuel line isnt that free still. Would a restricted fuel line effect engine performace that much? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oysterboats Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 yes as iwould imagine you are delivering variable amounts of fuel as you go along. also they dnt like the vent closed on fuel tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shytalk Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 try slackening the breather screw on the tank as far as poss the pinched fuel line indicates a vacuum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Had exactly the same problem on the Honda.As Pete says, the breather screw on the fuel tank was not allowing sufficient air into the tank and caused a degradation in performance. ( Found the engine ran beautifully when I forgot to put the fuel cap on altogether ! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
