1997 200hp Vindicator was running fine, then low oil level light came about 1/2 mile from ramp. It would crank but not fire, I figured maybe some kind of fail safe for no oil. Filled up the oil tank - light is now off. Went to fish today, pumped up bulb started ran a minute stalled. Pumped up bulb again it would start right up then stall on hard accel to plane. If the bulb is pumped 4-5 times you can hear the fuel filling the carbs. Its starts but as soon as any throttle is applied stalls. I check the fuel lines, and filter to fuel pump no restrictions. I pulled the cover checked the diaphram no damage no crud, and pulled the electric fuel pump looks fine no trash. Is there some type of fail safe for the oil light that may keep the pump from engaging or just a bad pump?
