Hello everyone !
Back from vacation, had a great week 8/7-8/15 in Meredith. Luckily that was a fairly good weather week. We didn't use the bowrider that week,
beccuase it was still not repaired. That was a big disappointment for the family. I did bring my 3 kyacks on vacation, so the family could at least have a little fun on the water. Still not the same
Long story..... after another inspection of stalling problem by a professional marine mechanic in the Lakes region, it was determined that the problem
(lack of fuel to Carb), is being caused by the 'electric' fuel pump ! *@^&@*#&(@!&^%$&@%#&@!^#
The internal diaphram inside the pump has most likely failed or deteriotated.
This could be a result of age or ethanol or both ? I believe there is also a metal ball inside the pump which can also stick, stopping flow of fuel.
They do not make a 'rebuild' kit for this electric pump. A new fuel pump was ordered and I received today. I plan to install over the weekend and test boat/engine on the water, weather permitting.
Will report back to Forum with results. Keeping my finger crossed !
