I had my boat in storage for quite a while and took it to the dealer for service. They tuned the engine, drined the old fuel and change the impellor. I picked up yesterday and they assured me it ran fine.
I put it in the water and it cranked and started as it should. After running for about 100 yards it died and would not start again. In trying to restart, I pumped the primer bulb and it would not get hard leading me to believe the primer bulb may be bad. I purchased a new and installed it to no avail.
I suspect it has trash in the pick up or the anti siphon valve is bad. In pulling the inspection plate over the fuel pick up it seems to be welded to the tank. Does it unscrew frome the tank and where is the anti siphon valve located. Exactly what should I check and do at this point besides take it back to the dealer.
I suspect the dealer cranked the engine on a remote tank and it ran only as long as it burned the fuel left in the engine. I say this as they had drained the tank of the old fuel.
Thanks
