I am not getting any fuel into the carb. I've replaced the fuel pump and filter. The specs don't show a fuel pump relay switch or fuse. Is there one on this model? If not, any clues as to what I might check? marylander |

Does it even crank over? Or is it that you crank but no fuel is getting to it. What boat do you have? |

No experiance with that generator, but I would check to see if the new fuel filter is wet. If not perhaps there's trouble on the tank side, like a clogged fuel pick up. If it is wet, then look towards the carb side, clogged fuel line? Maybe disconnect the line and try to pump into a container {be careful}. If that works then it's the carb. |

Thanks for the replies. It does crank but won't catch. I found a web site with details about the electrical setup for this generator. I'll let you know if I discover the cause after I run a few tests with the volt meter. marylander |

How much fuel is in the tank. Make sure you are over 1/2 full. As a safety the dip tube only goes 1/2 to 1/4 of the tank. They dont want to leave you floating. My friends 06 318v would shut down as soon as it hit a half tank so he put in a new pick that will draw down to 1/4 tank. Good Luck |
