    200 Optimax

    So I haven’t ran my boat in almost 2 years. Other than cranking it up every 3-4 months letting it idle and such. Now today I went to go run it. I’ve put treatment in the tanks. New battery. Fuel lines have blue writing which means it’s ethanol approved. Has been idling great, went to get on plane and bogged down and hasn’t fired up since? What do I need to do? One tank had ethanol gas in it. Other didn’t. Put fresh gas in before ran it. Any help? OT513513

    Also motor is 2002 and had new compressor, fuel rails and all injectors about 2 years a go when I stopped using it. Only has about 20 hours on new parts.

    2 year old gas should have been discarded.

    Did you pump up the primer bulb, after the motor died?

    Just because the fuel lines are ethanol resistant doesn't mean they are still good.

    I removed old gas out of one tank. Yes I pumped on bulb.
