Need help with trolling motor
#2
Sounds like it’s not getting fuel. Have you checked the fuel line connections and the primer bulb? You might also disconnect the fuel line to the carburetor and make sure gas is getting to the carburetor. It’s also possible that the carburetor is gummed up especially if the motor was stored without burning all the gas in the carburetor. There is usually a small fuel filer that may be plugged up.
I don’t know whether any of this will help but it’s worth a try.
Just to confirm it’s fuel supply i’ve started a motor and when it starts to die I’ll drop a small amount of gasoline from a soda straw directly into the carburetor. If you can keep it running by doing this you know it’s a supply issue.
