Hi!
Got a new 350 mpi for alpha drive about 3 years ago, has run about 100 hours and was serviced by me according to the book.
Has been running approx 10h this seaseon. After going about 1 hour I changed gear and the motor died. Afterwards it wouldn't start, not the next day either.
Checked the following:
No alarms
No alarms from vesselview
Voltage in batteries
Fuel lines, all the way to the fuelpump.
Pulled two spark plugs, both dry, a little sooty but fine.
The microswitch used for the alpha drive doesn't stick, also tried to measure the voltage from it, it gives higher voltage when pressed anyway (if I measured correctly).
The fuel pump sounds when I start the engine, before I turn it over completely.
It runs fine on the starter motor and sounds like normal, but never fires.
Tried starting with higher idle.
Ran out over 1.5 tanks, so the fuel is new.
Any ideas? Feels like an electrical fault or possibly a fuel fault, but it's crazy that the soup fault would occur just when I'm shifting...
