not getting fuel

[Bill2e]

2004 175 Evenrude Direct injection

Last month I took the boat in for an anual service & everything was OK

Had a water separating fuel filter installed.

Today I took the boat out and ran it on the muffs for 5 minutes. Everything was good. Time to hit the water.

I launched the boat and was letting it idle. Started to idle out to the main chanel and it hesitated and stalled out. I could not get it started.

I checked the water separating fuel filter, gas looked good, but the seal was out of shape so I put the spare filter on.

Still not starting. Trolling motor back to the ramp and load up to head home.

At home I pulled the new FF and there was no gas in the filter.

it seems I am not pulling fuel from the tank?

Please help.

looks like I am headed back to the shop.

Sounds like the tech didn't prime the system Bill and it ran off of what gas was left in the motor, OR the anti siphon valve on the tank is stuck closed.

Well now I am really confused.

WE reprimed the system, changed the ball and actually got the motor started. Starting to feel good about myself. Ir an great for about 5-10 minutes and the started sputtering, like it was starving for fuel.

The engine shut down and I could not get it restarted.

Maybe the fuel pump????
