vapor lock?

[HOTPURSUIT]

I have a 2003 225 yamaha 4 stroke and have been exsperiencing an intermittent problem lately where the boat runs fine but once I shut the engine down to say stop somewhere to eat, I have a problen restarting. The engine will start but then runs out of fuel after a few minutes, pump the primer ball and it starts and runs a little more. After about the third time doing this the engine runs great. seems to do it on hot days. I have changed the primer ball and the anti siphon valve at the tank. I ran a search and I see some posts that have the same issue and they talk about a vapor recovery system that solved their problem but the kit is no longer available, any one familiar with this problem? Thanks Mike

I had the same problem back in 2008. My local dealer installed a vapor recovery kit
part# 90891-40430-00 everything has been fine since the installation.
You can search under Engine Stalls to find my post.
Good luck
