Orange spark is not an indication of a fuel system problem -- it's an indication of an ignition system problem. I'm not familiar with your engine but I do know you will need a service manual for troubleshooting the problem. If you don't have one, try your library. Unless you have a DVM and know how to use it you will not be able to do the tests.
