Just got divorced and just got my boat back, problem is its been sitting idle for a year and now refuses to start, bled all fuel lines, changed fuel, spark plugs etc managed to get it running for about 1 minute and now it refuses to fire ? got spark and fuel is getting to the vapour separator, jets seem ok ? any suggestions please:confused:

Re: Mercury 30hp efi fuel problem

On the portside of motor is fuel pump has a 8mm nut on low part, its a
drain. Mine had bad gas too, but it starts and runs good to 2800 then
bogs and power los. It may be in save mode? Hope somebody chimes
in on this thread! Where can we get a free service manual for this engine?
