    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I went to put the VST back on, I carefully inspected each of the fuel lines and on the one going from the low pressure fuel pump to the VST, I could see that a small part of the inner lining had degraded and was hanging down like a little flap. I pulled that out of...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    I asked him that too. I was concerned that perhaps the inside of the gas line coming from the low pressure pump could be degrading or something but he didn't seem to be concerned about that. If it runs ok the rest of the season and next, I'll be very happy. If it starts with the same symptoms...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    I think we may have the answer! I took the VST to the tech this morning and he called back right before 5:00. He said he opened the tank and saw that everything looked ok, that I'd put the new high pressure pump in correctly and cleaned the screens and the needle and float seemed to be...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    I appreciate your understanding and saying that there are no stupid questions. I LOVE learning new things and the only hindrance I've had is people who took one look at a 5'3" female and said "nah, I'm not wasting my time with her". In addition to working on this outboard issue, I just rebuilt...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Thanks for the advice regarding on-the-water testing. I thought to be truly "under load", it had to be moving through the water as that adds some resistance and would be more of a taxing test on an engine rather than just using a test tank. It's currently tied up at a slip at the lake, and...

    No lake test today since we had off and on thunderstorms. My next chance won't be until Monday. :(

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Thank you again, for your thorough replay and fast response. I called the tech today and he was very open to answering all of my questions, to the best of his memory since it's been a few months since I first took it to him. He couldn't recall exactly what his scan tool said the first time he...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Hello again! I'll try to answer everything as best as I can (and I'll have to get back to you on a few things). As for The Basics: I took care of most of those myself and the tech double checked when he got my boat the first time (of three times). I am the one who has been "throwing parts" at...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    I just got back from the lake and checked the boat for the start-up beep. It DOES beep briefly when started. I know you said that was important so I wanted to share that with you ASAP. It starts easily and runs smoothly in neutral and low speeds. I also checked to see the brand of low pressure...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Thank you again for your help with this! I will try to answer each of your questions as asked: I feel like the marine mechanic is a "good guy"; he doesn't push me on repairs or parts and he has a ton of MUCH higher value boats on his lot to work on, rather known to be the guy who is the last...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Yes it starts easily and runs beautifully but I don't think it made the usual beep at start up. Can't be 100% that it didn't beep, my husband isn't sure either so I'd have to start it again to see. Pumping the bulb did seem to help (it would help it level out and behave a little further then...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Thank you. I will have to go to the boat, which is currently at my dock at the lake to get the model/serial number and all for you/him. I can maybe do that tomorrow. I had taken pictures of it when I was working through all the issues myself but I deleted them from my phone and they've since...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    Thank you for moving my post to the appropriate place; I wasn't sure where to post it. When I took the fuel pressure reading, both on muffs AND on the water under load, it was about 41. I don't know what specific computer he uses to check codes but he's been in business about 30 years and has a...

    Fuel System Delivery Issue Mystery HELP

    This is going to be a little long but I want to give all details so please bear with me. I have a 2016 Grand Island 20 foot pontoon with a 60hp Mercury 4 Stroke Force outboard (same age as boat). Last August, it started bogging down and acting like it was fuel starved, wanting to die. I squeezed...

    2017 Mercury 60HP Four Stroke Acts Starved For Fuel

    Thanks, I was afraid it must be the fuel pump, considering I've been eliminating other things one at a time. I did replace the two fuel filters that I was aware of (the first one with the view bowl that filters before the pump and then the high pressure one that I wasn't aware of at first since...

    2017 Mercury 60HP Four Stroke Acts Starved For Fuel

    Hello again. I relied on iboats to walk me through a total tear down and rebuild of an old 1956 outboard a few years ago but now I'm on to a newer motor. I am having some issues so I'm hoping the good people on these forums can help me figure this out. I purchased a pontoon with a 60 hp Mercury...

    56 Johnson Javelin, new battery but won't do a thing

    Hello everyone! I'm SO SORRY I left you all hanging, I truly am. You've all been so wonderful to me and I apologize for that. My son got married in Kansas and I was out there prepping for that for a couple weeks and now my daughter will be getting married in a couple months and I'm on to that...
