I have a 200 Vindicator built 5/97 model E200STLECE. I have never had any problems other than the typical hard to start cold. A week ago when finishing up fishing my low oil resivoir light came on. I refilled the tank to full no more light, but since then I have to pump the fuel bulb 4-5 times to start. It will not power up to go on plane, and will die after two minutes at 1200 rpm or so light throttle is applied. I pulled the fuel lines, checked, the filter (ok), no trash, it appears the electric fuel pump may be bad or is not getting input to activate. I pulled the pump and inspected the pump and diaphram both appear good. I can pump the bulb 4-5 times it will start right up and idle for two minutes before shutting off.
Any help would be appreciated. Or a link to troubleshooting manual.
Thanks.
