New fuel pump came in yesterday and installed last night. Put on a new fuel filter and while i had the lines disconnected i cleaned out the filter that is on the carb itself. Had some crap built up in there so i'm glad i checked it. Started it up today and she fired right up. Crazy how the fuel...

You're right, I didnt even think of that. Ill hold off on the rebuild until the pump is replaced and she's back to normal. Thanks again

Would the fuel pump going bad cause the problems i was describing, or could it be a combination of the pump and bad gas? I guess i have my next project. The pump shouldn't be too difficult to replace, easy to get to. I figured it wouldn't hurt to pull the carb off also and have it rebuilt. 21...

Bought a new filter and added stabil today. i'll run it tomorrow when the weather clears up, hopefully it'll work itself out. The solid fuel line from the pump to the carb isn't the line i was refering to. There is a small clear line probably .250 in diameter coming from the front of the carb...

I changed the fuel filter last weekend but i'm going to change it again since bad new parts seem to be my curse lately. I don't know too much about carbs, but yesterday i pulled the flame arrestor while it was running like you suggested and the two plates near the back of the engine were closed...

Well we got up to Lake Eufaula and rented a slip for the weekend. Ran great. Cruised about 30 miles or so out and came back and putzed around a little. I noticed that after cruising for a while that when i put it in neutral or just keep the rpm's low to idle along that it wants to stall. It's...

Ok, i got the module today and just in case i messed up the rotor taking it off i ordered an extra with the module. Replaced the module and with fingers crossed attempted to start the engine and.........nothing. Just cranking and no firing. At this point i was a little more than upset :smt013 so...

The rotor and cap were replaced less than 2 weeks ago, but i did pull the cap off and check and there was no corrosion on either part. The rotor does spin with the distributor when the engine is cranked. With spark coming in but not out it only seems that the module inside the distributor could...

I checked the connections and wires and all seem to be in decent condition. When i replaced the rotor i noticed the sensor had some corrosion on it so that could be what is causing the no spark. I'm still using the coil from last season but it'll get replaced after i get with the company that...

Oh, another note, i changed the fuel water separator after it stopped running and poured it into a glass container and found no water....not sure if this means the gas is good but no water sounds ok to me.

No, it wasn't stored with a full tank which was a pretty bonehead move on my part :smt021 but that still doesn't explain why i not have no spark from the cap to the plugs. I used a spark tool from autozone between the coil and cap and had spark....then between the cap and a wire to a plug and no...

I have a 1990 searay 220 with a mercrusier 350 that i attempted to start today for the first time of the season. It ran for about 5 minutes and stopped. Tried to restart and nothing. It cranks over fine and is getting gas to the carb, but apparently no spark. Over the winter i replaced the...

It's just a support pole, but it looks like the previous owner had the cover reinforced in that area so it doesn't push through.

Wish I could help, but it came with the boat. I've searched for others, but I can't seem to find any.

I'd just like to say this thread is awesome :thumbsup: I recently picked up a 1990 220DA while on R&R from Iraq and was only able to enjoy it for about a week before coming back here. After reading through this thread, my list of things to do has doubled for this winter. Just hope the fiance...
