[QUOTE="rpt50, post: 517434, member: 36098"] Wow, this is working out very positively! I was unable to draw a siphon from the tank using various pumps and syringes I've got laying around from motorcycle work, so I took Sea Antsy's suggestion to blow into the tank and listen for bubbles. But even with my compressor blow gun and using my neighbor's stethoscope, we couldn't hear any bubbles. Then we realized that the air was blowing out from where the lines enter the cowling. Apparently there must be a coupler or something in there that has broken or come apart. It's going to be 98 today and the boat is nowhere near shade, but tonight or tomorrow I'll get back at it. But it's looking like a much less expensive fix now! Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
