Hi Guys, i fitted this brand new unit into a 2000 235 chaparall in 2005, i haven't a any problems until the back end of the last boating season (oct 09) when i went to run it out of the water for winterization, it started okay and ran for approx 5 to 10 minutes then stalled. anyway i did winterize it and thought it was a blocked fuel filter, anyway come this spring changed fuel filter checked fuel in tank, fuel was low but i did do a visual inspection of the inboard tank and it was very clean and replenished fuel , ran again for five mins then stalled again , got local dealer to check iac valve and that was okay, now it does start but inmmediately stalls. i also checked fuel line from tank to fuel filter and that was clear too , this engine has only done 60hrs use , there was fuel on the top rail of engine block runninig to injectors by purging the valve ,the fuel pump does make the sound of priming itself upon turning the ignition on , so where do i go next ? do i change the fuel pump and has this been a familiar problem to other 350 mag mpi's ? thanks guys, from across the pond .
