I have a 1999 sprint deck boat that is new to me. It has a johnson 130pleed outboard. The previous owner removed the VRO pump and fuel pump and replaced the fuel pump with an off outboard electric fuel pump. The motor runs great at speed but I keep having problems starting up after running at speed. The engine seems to be flooded. The motor will start and idle but then you throttle up it dies. After running at idle or running at low speed with the electric fuel pump off you can usually get the engine throttle up and turn on the fuel pump and run again but it can be very aggravating to get it going. Should I replace the fuel pump on the outboard or is there a way to run the motor without flooding the motor with the electric fuel pump?
