Looking for suggestions. I have a 2000 Merc 225 Optimax. Always ran fine. Had to put boat in storage for four years due to working out of state. It sucked, I know. Now, trying to get it up and running again. All the bad gas is gone, running it off a small tank of non ethanol. Had to replace both electrical pumps, they refused to budge. Water separator, spark plugs, etc. But, still not getting gas to the cylinders. I get air coming out of the fitting on the air rail and the fuel rail. It will fire off just fine w starter fluid, so it is getting spark. Is there something I am missing between the fuel pumping system and the rails? I probably need to clean the fuel injectors, but I'll do that later. Just trying to get it to light off and stay on right now.
