Fellow Kentuckian here. How would you like your L served? Haha

Is the lake always as rough as it was this past weekend? I thought my boat was going to break in half.

Anyone have any fishing reports from Norman? Planning my first trip down there this weekend and was wanting to know all I can before I get there.

Shouldn't be any longer than 4-6 weeks as long as he isn't catching giants (8+ pounders). Lifting a gallon of milk after a month is ok in my eyes if he truly is going to be drop shotting, etc. He probably shouldn't be setting the hook with a jig or frog until about 6-8 weeks out. I sorta do this type of surgery for a living. haha

Well, I am an idiot. Haha. When I was changing my fuel line out yesterday I noticed this nice new oem primer bulb I bought and installed actually had the arrow pointing in the wrong direction. Ended Up still changing the lines anyway but it primed and was hard as a rock. Never has done that since I noticed it needed replaced.

Thank you! I am changing fuel lines this evening and am doing a check on the lift pump. They told me it had 2 fuel pumps, one lift pump and one to push it from there to the injectors? I tried priming the bulb but it will get firm sometimes and others it wont which is why I believe it is something in the line honestly. Where is the barb fitting in the tank? where the fuel line connects to the top? I don't think it is electrical because it doesn't throw any codes and when it went into limp home mode before it thew a code. Sorry for sounding like an idiot but I am by no means a mechanic. haha.

I am having a fuel issue with my Evinrude Ficht 150. Before anyone just bashes the ficht I have had pretty good luck out of the thing up to this point. Long story short but here goes; boat will start and idle great. First trip up the lake of the day and it runs great. No miss, stall, sputter, anything. Second trip of the day (usually an hour or two later) the boat will miss as it gets above 3000-3500 rpm. By miss i mean it completely stalls to an idle then will surge back to full throttle, usually repeating that every few seconds. It is as if it is getting no fuel at all. I have changed the bulb (oem Evinrude) and have changed the fuel filter. The only thing that confuses me is that it will run great at times then run like it gets fuel half the time at other times. The ball still will not consistently get firm when I prime it either which I also find odd. Could it be the high pressure fuel pump that for whatever reason works at times and not at others? Or could it be getting air in the lines and it causing the same thing? Any and all help is appreciated.

Also looking for info. Anyone out there fish this place?

Two words..New River. That area has some of the best smallmouth fishing in the entire country.
