BTW.....the motor died while on plane one time, after I got it started and ran for a minute....

Just more info..................

Do you have the mechanical fuel pump on the sea pump?

If the coil doesnt do it, and the pump is not there,,, could be vapor lock.

There is a bulliten and update to install a pump.

Finally ran the boat again last night after a few other mishaps.........After about 10 minutes of running, we stopped and check for a heated up coil.....didn't seam overly hot and the motor was idleing fine. We figured maybe run a little longer and started to run again and the motor died.

Checked the coil for spark and it still seamed fine.....after messin around with the coil for a few minutes the boat fire up and we ran to port. Idled to the dock after the boat was idleing in the dock for a few minutes, it died again. After trying a few other options the boat started again at the dock.

A few things I noticed was lack of fuel pressure reading on the guage, engine runs around 4-5 psi......reading was 0-1 psi...

Don't know if the guages are accurate the other motors fuel pressure guage reads around 12 psi..........

We're not thinkin it's the coil....more of a fuel problem....motor seams to want to turn over and starts to......but dies before it gets goin.....

When the engine is cold it fires right up, no questions........


Thanks again

I would really check out your vst resivoir, fuel pump & even the pick up in the fuel tank.. It may have some junk floating around that gets stuck on the pick up after a while.. Jamie / Lakeside

The motor when cold fires right away............no question

Could this still be the coil???

Should I just change all the wires, etc...................start from there??

Get a can of starting Fluid, after the engine dies, shoot a little in the air intake and if it fires right away it will be fuel related.

Someone mentioned a cold start valve last night............

anyone have any thoughts on this possibility???? or where this is located??

Didn't have nice weather yesterday to test anything.......hopefully this weekend the weather cooperates...

Mark...sure sounds like fuel pump...EFI motors critical on fuel pressure
