I purchased a 1995 195 sport last summer and have been chasing a fuel related issue. The issue starts once the engine is warm, and usually first arises when the engine is started after being stopped for a while. Once I start the boat after floating around for a bit, it starts and then stalls when throttle is applied and/or after a few seconds of idling. During this time, i do not hear the fuel pump running like it should when the engine is running
The only solution I have found is to hard wire the fuel pump directly to the battery. When this is done, the boat runs fine. This winter, I wired up a switch in the helm that allows the fuel pump to be turned on manually if the problem persisted this spring.
Here are the things I have replaced so far (in order):
Totally new carburetor, new oil pressure sender, new oil pressure switch (also replaced coil, plugs, fuel/water separator).
The problem continued after each one of the parts I replaced, leading me to believe that there is something else wrong.
I am not sure else could it possibly be. I traced the wiring coming from the fuel pump and I replaced everything (I think) that would cause the fuel pump not to run.
Took it out for the first time this year today, and the issue came back, so i was forced to run the fuel pump manually.
Any suggestions?
