I received the bad news the other day and wanted some advice prior to contacting Yamaha Customer Service from anyone who has experienced this problem. After 150 hours my F150 4 stroke needs a new fuel pump. My mechanic has replaced the pump and told me that the filter at the pump was all clogged up causing the pump to burn out. He said it is not an uncommon problem in newer engines and could have been caused by either fuel contamination of some sort or bits of dibree working their way through the system. The engine has been properly maintained and has all the right filters (10micron fuel water seperator etc.). Prior to contacting Yamaha to see if the warranty will cover the $1,200 expense or some portion of it I was wondering if any of you out there has had a similar problem?
It should be noted that I have no complaints with anyone I have dealt with up to this point and am grateful that the marina I deal with has been responsive and has gotten me back on the water in a matter of 2 days.
