OK, after reading your last post, I had an eureka moment and thought 'Don's saying no fuel'. So, let's see if fuel is getting to VST....NOPE. Start disassembling hoses and primer bulb and realize the...

Thanks Don. Could the diaphragm pump be the culprit?

OK, pressure results:

02 sec crank: Air 70 Fuel 25
05 sec crank: Air 70 Fuel 40
10 sec crank: Air 70 Fuel 70

05 sec after 10 sec crank: Air 50 Fuel 70
10 sec after 10 sec...

Yeah, I thought about each of the above. I've flipped the kill switch on and off several times to ensure it wasn't in a limbo state (or worse, off). Have two starting batteries run in parallel, both...

Thanks Don.

New tracker valve installed today. No liquid gas on port rail. Still no start. Gauge components are ordered. Will assemble and measure pressures next....stay tuned.

Thanks guys. I'm working on it right now.

Got spark to all plugs. Must be air/fuel related.

Belt is good. Spark test next.

I did not, but will......

A month ago motor running fine then lost a coil (luckily at the dock in the harbor early in the morning), so towed the boat home, pulled all of the coils and did the...

Thanks Don! My next trip is in a couple weeks. I'll try this and report back.

They hold the hub in place inside the propeller and are designed to fail in the event of a strike. You could probably glue them, but they make a snubber kit that sells for around $25 that offers...

I idled for 15 minutes with varying rpms...all the way up to 2000. Had plug in and out. I understand that the air cannot escape with plug in, but Don suggested leaving it in to build pressure then...

OK, so here's an update.

I wound up installing a new tank, new check valve and new o-ring on remote tank. After installing all these parts, I still couldn't get the engine mounted tank to...

I did. It's clean.

It started about 1/2 full, then I added roughly a gallon to bring it up to 80-85% full just because the air pressure from the engine seemed so low. I read a previous post where Don said the system...

Oy vey....

Got the new tank installed, filled 95%, cracked plug open, fired up engine and idled for 10 minutes and no more oil ever entered engine mounted tank. Pulled 'air' line off remote tank...

Thanks Don.

So even though I visually inspected the engine mounted tank and confirmed it was full, there's a chance the engine won't get proper lubrication?

Because it's my nature to be...

The switch is sold separately and is easily removed from the tank by one small screw. Otherwise, the tank is sealed.

As I originally stated, I've searched and read a ton of posts so I realize the...

OK, even more confused. When you say I can't just buy the tank sensor, do you mean that's not the problem or it's not available? It is available separately as part # 87-856156T04. At $20, seems like...

OK, upon further review, the alarm was one continuous beep with 'Critical-Low Oil' message. I jumped the connector and warning did not re-occur. So.....how do I know if it's a bad tank or bad switch...

I actually don't remember if the beep was solid or a series, but the smartcraft gauge did show the word 'critical' on the display, hence the reason for the tow....and the question as to whether there...

I've read as many posts as I could about similar issues, but didn't find the answer to my question.

On my way in Sunday morning I got the dreaded beeps and 'critical' message on my...

Thanks Don. I figured some of the gas would pass through the exhaust valve but didn't know about passing through the rail. Regardless, I cannot imagine having raw fuel within a cylinder, without...

Yeah, I plan on it, but really curious about issues/concerns about running on five.
