    Can I split my fuel line to run my kicker as well as my main engine? They are both four strokes.

    couldnt see why not as long as you have a crossover switch or pressure may be a problem..

    No problem I,ve always done it, in fact the new lunds have a extra feed on the tank for the kicker. Just replace the outlet on the tank with a t and hook up your two hoses.

    Just make sure you have a primer bulb for each motor after the split.

    Won’t the fuel pump of the running motor suck the fuel out of the other motor? I can picture this happening if the bulb was weak, allowing fuel to back-flow.
