The Primer Solenoid Tee is used on select OMC, Johnson and Evinrude outboards to route fuel through the primer system and distribute it toward the carburetor circuit during starting.
A cracked, brittle, loose, or leaking primer tee can cause fuel leaks, air intrusion, hard starting, poor cold-start performance, or inconsistent primer operation.
Ideal for primer-system repairs, fuel-hose replacement, and engine restoration.

The Primer Solenoid Tee is used on select Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines as part of the fuel-primer system.
OEM parts diagrams identify it as a primer solenoid tee or solenoid-to-carburetor tee. It provides a junction point that routes fuel from the primer system toward the carburetor or intake circuit during starting.
Although it is a small fitting, it plays an important role in cold-start operation and fuel-system sealing.
On engines equipped with a primer solenoid, fuel is directed through small hoses toward the carburetor or intake system when the primer is activated.
The tee helps divide or route that fuel through the primer circuit.
A properly functioning tee helps support:
If the tee is cracked or no longer grips the hose correctly, primer performance can suffer.
Possible symptoms may include:
Because primer problems can also be caused by the primer solenoid, hoses, fuel pump, carburetors, or clogged passages, inspect the complete system when troubleshooting.
The primer system is designed to provide additional fuel during starting.
If the tee leaks fuel or allows air into the system, the amount of fuel reaching the engine may be reduced. That can make a cold engine much harder to start even when the carburetors and ignition system are functioning correctly.
A leaking tee can also create a fuel-safety concern under the engine cover.
OEM diagrams show this fitting used between the primer solenoid and carburetor circuit on engines including select 9.9-60 HP applications, while other Johnson/Evinrude diagrams show the same tee across smaller and larger outboard families.
Replacement should be considered when:
Older plastic fittings can deteriorate from heat, age, vibration, and long-term fuel exposure.
When replacing the tee, also inspect:
A new tee will not correct a primer problem caused by cracked hose, a restricted passage, or a malfunctioning solenoid.
Reliable starting matters on any outboard, but it becomes especially important in a race environment where you do not want to be diagnosing a fuel-primer issue at the dock.
At Liquid Revolutions, we know that small fuel-system fittings are easy to overlook until they create a problem. A brittle or leaking tee can make an otherwise healthy engine difficult to start and can introduce unnecessary troubleshooting into race-day preparation.
Replacing an aging Primer Solenoid Tee is a simple way to eliminate one potential weak point in the fuel and starting system.
Always verify your engine model, hose routing, and OEM part number before ordering.
