Got the boat running again after replacing switch box, rectifier, and starter. Now when I start it within half a minute or so I get a "mini" back fire which looks like it is coming from around the fuel pump. Haven't taken anything apart yet but wanted to see if someone on here has had experience.

Re: Now what is it doing...

Ok, I've found the problem.. damn it..just when all is going good. Turns out this is a cover of some sort for the lower cylinder and it was missing a bolt and the other was just about to fall out. Looks like it built up pressure and blew the gasket out since the bolts were missing/loose. Where do I get another gasket or can I get a gasket like sealant?

Ok, I've identified the gasket as a transfer port intake gasket. $6 online.
