where the fuel line hooks up to the motor . on the motor side is this connector made to be free spinning ? it seems to have very loose connection and last fall at the end of the season.! I was having a problem were we had to have to keep pumping the primer bulb . i have just replaced my fuel line this spring as the line would blacken my hand when i touch it. i found that the connector at the motor were it hooks up seem to spin loosely also that connector had a threaded place in the side were a bolt or set screw would of gone but there nothing in there . thought id ask before we put this pontoon in the water . im unable to see the gas line in the motor were this connector is attached .Ived been unable to fine a good diagram of the motors internal fuel line setup .
not sure if any of you would know but thought i toss this out here !

Post that at the iboats forum but I'd advise adding more specific info as you'll be asked there. Model # and or year will helpful.

figured it out today a rubber grommet got wore out and a bolt fell out . $17.02 with shipping . local boat place didn't have it and the killer is the bolt may just be a common one. but there no listing as to it size. the location sucks to try and figure it out. the boat shop use to stock the grommet till this spring ~
