We were tubing at the lake today and everything was working perfectly. We stopped to swim and rest and when I tried to start it back up it would barely run for a couple of seconds and die. It seemed like it wasn't getting fuel pressure. I tried several times and the same result. It seemed if I primed the rail by turning the key on and of three times then starting it would run a couple of seconds longer before dieing. I called a tow and put away all the toys and ropes and tried one last time and it started perfectly so we ran back to the ramp several miles with no issues at 3000 rpm. It starts and runs on the muffs now every time without fail. I changed the fuel filter but I think it is the fuel pump. The pump doesn't sound right to me. Since the pump costs $400.00 on this motor I would like to be sure before I replace it. What are you guys thoughts ??
