2001 115 FICHT won’t start

I have a 2001 Evinrude 115 FICHT outboard. Was running perfectly until Friday night when I went gigging. Ran perfect for a mile then it slowed down and turned off (starving of fuel is what it felt like) tried to start again and nothing. Had to call boat tow to get us back in. Messing with it at home and I get fuel to the pump outlet going to the spider assembly for the injectors. Each injector has very little fuel coming out when I crank over (I assume more when bolted and the suction from motor) lift pump diagram looks good and no cracks. I did notice the primer build was facing down. Arrow towards motor but arrow down. Does this need to be faced up? Never gave a problem before. And pulled the hose from bulb to tank because primer wasn’t filling back up. No collapsed hose. Any thoughts on what it can be?
 
You need to make sure you have power to the high pressure pump when cranking the engine. If not, that likely means your EMM has an issue and needs repaired.

Is that the pump in the back? That feeds fuel to the spider injector assembly?

Yes. The high pressure pump is located inside the vapor separator tank. There is a connector coming out of it that plugs into a lead coming from the EMM. Unplug the EMM lead, connect a multi-meter to the + and - wires from the EMM side of the harness, and have someone crank the engine. You should see 12 volts coming from that lead. If you do not have 12 volts coming from the EMM, see if there is a fuse for the fuel pump circuit and check to see if that is blown. If there is a blown fuse, replace and if you now have 12 volts on the EMM lead your EMM is likely okay.

Next move to testing the pump itself. If you're getting 12V from the EMM, reconnect and see if you are now pumping fuel. If you do, then all is good. If you aren't pumping fuel, then you likely need to replace the high pressure fuel pump. You can find them here: https://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_search.php?part_num=439347
