98 405 Port Engine Will Not Start
- Posted by: Serendipity » May 25th, 2020, 4:33 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hello guys,
So I finally get the boat out and stretched her legs yesterday. Running along at 3600 rpms at 20 mph actually heading back to the slip and my siren goes off? And both engines it appeared died, but maybe just the port size becauseithappened so fast. Regardless I shut both of them off.
Checking the gauges, starboard engine was fine and started back up, port had died and would not restart.
Oil levels were fine yesterday and today at the full mark. Engines temps were normal at 175-180 range.
I got fuel yesterday but only 50 gallons per each side. We had been out for 3 or 4 hours on this fuel.
I dropped anchor and cleaned the strainers where she died. They were pretty much clean:) as I am on a freshwater 30,000 acres lake.
I replaced the water separator- fuel filter this morning. I have not checked to see if the fuel pump was pumping as of yet though. I ran the generator for an hour this morning and left to go get a fuel filter wrench.
Upon my return, the generator will not run now. It just starts and then dies. Typical 10k Koehler Generator that came on the boats with a new carburetor on it. Like I said it ran for an hour this morning.
So I swapped tanks and tried starting both the generator and port engine from the aft tank. Still no success and I looked on the forum but didn't see anything in my searches.
Other than the fuel pump for the port engine, is there anything ya would try in sequence?
Engines are the typical 7.4 MPI 454 Chevy engines.
I can take the fuel pump hose off I presume to check to see if the fuel pump is working, but if it is, then what?
And would this cause the generator and port engine not to run even though it ran this morning.
Out gasoline station is on the water and checked every couple weeks by the owner who I am good friends with.
I really do not think it is the gas though.
Thanks for everything as always
