Haven't had the boat out in four years. Took it to my mechanic to get it ungunked. He did. Said it was running rough, but smoothed out. Got it to a little local lake to test things and inspect the trailer before taking any long jaunt to a bigger lake for some water sports and fishing.
Everything was as he said. Ran up and down the lake some to get it smoothed out more. Running good. Did some fishing. Seemed ready to go. Got almost back to the ramp and slowed down for the No Wake zone. Died. Wouldn't start back up. The gas bulb would be empty feeling but fill up and get hard. Would crank fine but no sign of catching. Tried the fuel bulb several times but same.
The mechanic said he looked up how to empty the tank (built-in) and there was no drain plug, so he somehow pressurized it, as instructed, to get the fuel out. It SEEMS like a fuel issue to me. Like it's not getting gas. I suspect either the Primer Solenoid or the Fuel Pump. Anybody think anything different or...?
IF I'm right, will these parts need replaced or rebuilt? Cost estimates?
