Honda BF130 question

[ragbul]

I have a question Im hoping some of you better mechanics can help me with. My father has a honda 130 (SN BZBE 1102257) I believe is a 2000 and I am having some fuel issues. The motor sat for about two years with the fuel drained because the transom and floor of the boat were bad. We now want to move the motor to a new boat and it will not start. We started with fresh fuel, cleaned the first fuel filter in front of the vapor seperator, checked spark (all 4 had spark), and the low pressure pump works. The problem is we are not getting fuel to the fuel rail (I think). The vapor seperator is getting fuel but Im guessing the fuel pump is not working. After reading threads I am confused on how to trouble shoot this. If I turn the key on I should feel it kick on right? If it does not can I use a test light at the electric connection to see if it is getting power. If it is not where is my next option too look relay, ecm, fuses?. Also this is a 2000 motor with the vapor seperator that has the fuel pump mounted to the front not under it. Any advice on what to look for, test, ect would help me out. Thanks

Hey guys, I have the same motor with the same problem. My dealer, out of respect I won't name, kept it for 7 weeks and offered me no solution. So I just picked it up. Took it to couple independents with no success either. This does certainly seem like an odd problem especially when it runs fine from any where from 5-30 minutes but when it starts the surging, it doesn't stop and will eventually die. I tried the external tank with the same thing happening. I was going to try a new high pressure pump because it seems that it starts surging after it gets warm/hot. Did you get that motor fixed?
