Tried already no difference. Had been acting a little funky, I'm sure it needs one, but of course I cant seem to find anyone who has a listing.

So...….Spent a good portion of the day running fine. Sat and floated in a bay for a while, went to leave starter decided to die. It just spins but will not engage. Its my week for starters, just replaced one in my sons GMC yesterday. Any suggestions where I can find a place to buy a...

Back together and runs.

Thanks for reply. Fingers crossed I may have found it. Under further examination ......in the light. (It was pretty late when I got it all tore down last night) the float was stuck. Pulled it apart and cleaned everything and is working fine now. I will try to put it all back together tonight...

Ok. In really stumped now. Pulled VST and have never been so excited to find dirt and scum in the unit. Figured it was the issue for sure But filter looks pretty clean and can blow freely in it. Bench tested pump and it runs with direct power to it. So I'm not sure I'm in right area. It is for...

Thanks guys. I'm going to pull it apart and see what it looks like today hopefully

I did get spark back after I repaired a wire. Of course that turned out to be a secondary issue. I think the pump failed and I was digging around trying to find out why it wasn't starting, and I moved some wires with a poor ground that than caused the no spark issue. That sent me down a rabbit...

I feel nothing at the VST

I will check again when I get home but I do not believe so. I feel the clicking in the sq black box that I believe is the lift pump but nothing from the unit it feeds.

Lift pump ticksand seems to be functioning properly. Pulled drain screw and some gas come out...not a ton. Recycled system to see if filled up again. It did not. Pushed on valve (did not have fuel pressure gauge on hand.) Zero pressure.

It's a 240 efi mercury 6 cylinder. Ignition buddy. Safety system to lanyard. It had been bypassed and grounded out from old wire job someone had performed.

Got spark back. Someone prior to me had pulled ignition buddy and old cutting of wires had grounded out. BUT that was only half my problem. Seems initial no start was lack of fuel. Now that I got spark back it will only run when fuel manually sprayed into cylinders. I have no pressure at the...

Well lost spark on 4th. Towed home and found bad wire where Ignition Buddy was removed before I owned it. Now will fire and run for split second but only when I shoot some fuel into the cylinders. FYI. This was first time out since put up for winter. Ran on hose for 15 minutes week prior...

Black and yellow looks good from all that I can trace.

Well pretty frustrated. Just redid my 2000. Ran it in driveway after winter storage ran great. Put in in for first time never got away from launch. Started and stalled several times. Than didn't try to start at all just turns over. Tried new plugs in case fouled out and no change. Pulled it...
