hey guys hope everyone is doing well.
I can use your help trying to figure out my issues with a 2000 challenger 240 refi v6
I recently got the boat and don't have much info about it just that it did not run.
I changed the head gasket and drained the fuel tank.
currently connected the 3rd electric fuel pump to a regular 2 gallon gas container just for testing.
I Have heard of all the oil issues so I plugged all the oil lines and mixing my fuel with oil 50:1
I have not removed the oil pump its still connected.
so I go crank it and it immediately starts but idles for 2 seconds and stops.
I try it again and it will start up right away but only runs for 2 seconds.
I tried to quickly put it gear and rev it but no affect it stops.
I did try holding the key to the crank position and by doing this it does stay on idle but obviously this is not good for the starter.
I tried to rev it while cranking and engine on idle but obviously when you take it off neutral it kills the starter and 2 seconds later it stops.
I noticed that the the 1st fuel pump closest to the gas tank only runs while cranking is this normal?
I did run it directly to the battery to see if that was the issue but no change.
any direction that you guys can point me towards would be great.
Thanks
