2001 - 225 EFI problem

[jayhunt3]

Boat sat for 30 days. Started the engine backed out of slip and it shut down. No water in the fuel filter but the fuel bulb was not hard. Primed the line and still will not start. Electronics appear OK. Can an EFI get vapor lock or some other condition if the fuel vacuum is lost. Any suggestions? Desperate to get back on the water for the fourth. Thanks, Duxman

For starters you can remove the engine cover and have a buddy turn the key (not to start) while you have your ear close to the vst and you should hear the fuel pressure sound for several seconds.You should have about 35psi of fuel on the scharder valve on top without starting the engine. Make sure your batteries are fully charged with tight connections .
