2. Connect the fuel line connector to
the outboard motor. Install the
outboard motor end fuel line
connector with the clip toward the
shift lever side.
Be sure the fuel line connector
is securely snapped in place.
Always disconnect the fuel line
when storing or transporting the
outboard motor.
If the outboard end fuel line
connector is forcibly installed in
the reversed direction, the fuel line
connector O-ring seal can be
damaged. A damaged O-ring seal
can cause a fuel leak.

3. Hold the primer bulb so that the
outlet end is higher than the inlet
end. The arrow on the primer bulb
points upward. Squeeze the primer
bulb several times until it feels
firm, indicating that fuel has
reached the carburetor. Check for
fuel leaks and repair any leaks
before starting the engine.
Do not touch the priming bulb with
the engine running or when tilting up
the outboard motor. The carburetors
could overflow.
