Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I ran my tank very close to empty. After refueling and taking the boat out a different day, there were some issues with it beeping if I idled for any length of time, and a studder / hesitation when raising the throttle just above idle.
The problem slowly got worse to the point that now it stalls / dies as you transition off idle, and beeps constantly. If you get past 2500rpm it will run perfect.
I replaced the fuel filter/water seperator unit (looks like an oil filter with a sensor.)
That didn't make a difference, and the problem has really gotten bad.
Removing the sensor from the fuel filter didn't make a difference
Removing the 12V clip from the small black (fuel pump?) labled:
SAE J1171 MARINE
US PAT. NO 5.
3629674
3797522
4299544
4306842
4464613
FLOW ->
12 VOLT
Completely fixed all issues.
The idle cleaned up, the beeping stopped, hesitation / surging went away, etc...
What is the significants of this 12 Volt fuel pump, and why does it run perfect without it????
