I'm hoping I might be able to get a little advice.
2006 225 HP Optimax S/N 1B242745
Took the boat out yesterday and idled away from the launch for 5-10 minute, then the motor slowly died. Coughed a couple times trying to restart, but eventually nothing.
When I got home, the section of the fuel pump assembly that has the fuel filter in it was dry, no fuel. Thinking I had a fuel line issue, I messed around with the bulb and eventually got the fuel filter canister to fill with fuel.
Motor still won't start. Not even an attempt.
Motor has new fuel filter, new plugs, is getting spark to the plugs, and I can hear the fuel pump run when I turn the key.
Motor turns over fine, and the battery is charged.
Any suggestions that a shade tree mechanic can try before I take it to the dealer?
Thanks.
