[QUOTE="rpt50, post: 517697, member: 36098"] OP here. Turned out to be a connector that broke that (unfortunately) is made out to plastic and is kind of hidden in that protective hose that exits the cowling with all the control cables (see post 12). The part is integrated with the fuel line to the filter under the cowl, and was about $35. I'm going to keep an extra on hand as it seems like that part is really stressed every time you tilt up the motor, or open the cover in the rear of the boat. Apparently no bulb is needed on these newer motors. It just took a couple of key turns and I could see the filter filling up with fuel. It started on the next turn and took maybe 15 seconds to clear out and run smooth. [/QUOTE]
