Good Morning, I have a 2001 Stratos Extreme 20SS with a Johnson 225HO outboard. When I purchased the boat, it ran great and I had it up to 70mph. Last year my check engine light came on, which I read, meant fuel restriction. I changed the pick up tube, check valve on the tank, fuel lines, primer bulb etc...It seems like it isn't getting enough fuel and running very sluggish. Sometimes it won't even plane out and a top speed of 7mph. It seems like there is only a little throttle past idle. I noticed if I pump the primer bulb and then quick start the motor, it will run ok to get it on plane. I changed all my gauges also, and it isn't showing any lights on, but still runs bad. I am just looking for inexpensive things to try before replacing the fuel pump (VRO). Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thank You
Rich
