Hello,

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my boat engine. From what I understand it is a Buick V6 engine, but on the carb it says GM. I am having a problem with keeping the engine started. I can squirt a little gas in the carb and the engine will start and then 2 seconds later shuts off. I know that the carb is obviously not getting fuel. So I checked to see if the fuel pump is shooting gas out of the line and it isnt. So I am assuming that the pump is bad, but I am not sure. Can someone help?

Ayuh,... Unless there's a restriction, or blockage from the tank to the pump, it should be pumping...
