"I Meant to add Not firing as a title apologies can't seem to edit "
I have a 2005 / 2006 4.3L Mercruiser fuel injected that is not firing - I have started the process of elimination and this is what I have found out so far.
Before I tackle this at the weekend it would be great to get some advise and procedure to follow. Should I bypass the filter into a seperate clean tank of fuel? is there
another way to check if the pump is sucking? I'm not a mechanic but I like to think I am technical and have worked with outboards before and willing to try anything.
Can the fuel pump be making noise when the ignition is on but then not suck anything or not activate? Would a dirty fuel filter stop the engine to fire?
Thanks.

- Engine turns over
- There is a spark
- The fuel pump appears to run so it's not power to the pump, when I turn on the ignition I can here it come on a whirl
- Fuel has be lying up for a couple of months in the heat
