Hello fellas.. I'm new to the forums, I own a 2003 Bayliner 2150 with this engine..
I'm having some fuel issues after I let the boat sat for 4 years. ()
I cleaned the carbs... But I'm having issues with the fuel pump..
I'm not sure how the fuel system works,
The engine does not stay running for long in iddle and when it start, if I accelerate.. It dies with I a few seconds..
Well back to the fuel and electric fuel pump..
I sent 12v directly to it and it pumps 9 psi of pressure so.. According with the manual is good..
But I don't hear the pump while the engine is running, only when I crank the engine works for a second until the actual engine starts.. As soon as I let go the key the electric fuel pump stop pumping..
So my NOOB question is.. That's the way this low pressure pump are supposed to work? Remember that my engine has the 2 barrel carb,
My background :I'm a mechanic aficionado, I can work in new and old cars and motorcycles..
But this is my first boat and I didn't have time to play with it. Before I stopped like 4 years ago.. Ran fine for 2 seasons, when I bought the boat I cleaned the carb too and it worked like a kitty, ran smooth and fast for 2 summers
Any help and guidance will be much appreciated it
