    I would buy a new pump, but even aeromotive pumps have a lot of bad reviews. Any others that you have used that you can recommend

    8.2 litre efi mercruiser problems

    Thank you, I have checked all the lines vents and anti-syhfon valve and all are clear. I just responded to makomark, if you can access that post maybe it will give some ideas. Again, thanks for any help.

    8.2 litre efi mercruiser problems

    Thank you for your reply, the more I get the better. If you read my original post, you will see that I am a novice at this, even though I am 82 years old. I had this boat serviced each year by a marina, only to find out that they never touched the vs tank and knowing that many parts for that...

    8.2 litre efi mercruiser problems

    The pump may be the issue, I am thinking of upgrading to an AEM pump. The new return line goes back to the tank. I see you mention a single pump. The vs tank had only one pump and used a mechanical pump for supply, the difference is the vs tank always had a fuel supply in the tank. The new...

    I have not tried removing the vacuum line, I am just now de-winterizing the boat, hope to have it running on Friday. The return line was brought back to the tank. The pump name is unknown, I am beginning to think this may be the problem, it is not a name brand pump. I am thinking of going to...
