I replaced the fuel filter and fuel filter/separator. The engine started after replacement and ran for about 2 minutes and now seems to not be getting any fuel. The primer bulb wont harden up but I removed and retightened filters, checked orings and can't find any leaks.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or whether or not it is possible to have an airlock in the line.

Thanks

yes its possible your water seperator in the hull needs to be pre-filled or hold the fuel primer bulb with the arrow pointed skyward and pump like mad.
the F225 lift pump only runs about 10 seconds then off for 20 seconds below about 1200 RPM.
not enough time to refill both filters before the VST runs dry.
