Does the gas tank you are using require a Fuel Demand Valve or FDV,or a new style fuel connector with a sealing mechanism that prevents pressurized fuel from entering the engine and causing fuel system overflow or spillage.My Tohatsu 6 hp. Kicker requires a primer bulb hose with a FDV and I had replaced the hose fitting to match the one on my main gas tank and ran into the same problems you are talking about,I put the FVD fitting back on and used a remote tank that came with the motor and all is well Tohatsu motor is a 2014. That's progress!
