Good afternoon everyone,

I have 1998' Wellcraft 210 Coastal w/a 5.7L gsi, volvo-penta sx.

WHen trying to start I pump the throttle a few times and she start and runs for a few seconds then dies. I I pump up twice as much she runs twice as long, maybe 5-15 seconds. But while she starts if I give her gas via the throttle she dies. So, I am guessing I have a fuel pump issue. I have never done anything with the fuel system and I am hoping to get some advice on hear as to the steps (safely) to take to test the pump (I think she has just one) and or the electrical to make sure it is getting power to the pump.

Please any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
