Couple of weeks ago I spent about 5 hours on the lake. Cranked up the engine and was trolling over to another spot. After a few minutes the engine started to sputter and quit. I would try to start and it would start up for about 2 seconds and shut off. This happened again and again. Got the boat home and removed the VST and checked for contaminants and very little at the bottom where the filter sits. No water in the fuel and jumpered both pumps and they worked. Replaced the filter and checked the screens on the primary fuel pump which were good and re-installed the VST. Put new gas in a 2 gallon jug and dipped the hose in and tried cranking and nothing. Pulled plugs and they were wet and checked for spark and had spark. Next I checked the fuses (3x20A and 1x5A) and they were good. It isn't the kill switch because the pumps don't even turn on with it in off, and with the switch on I can hear them prime. What else could cause this engine to not fire up when it's getting fuel and spark????
