Our new 2020 SDX 250 has twice not started at the end of day after being out and running fine. After the first time this happened and getting towed in, the boat started up after a couple hours. I had no problems the subsequent 2 times out, but had the same issue the 4th day out.
I double checked our starting process and the usually advised trouble shooting ideas -- checked run/off switch, starting with throttle only, giving time to cool off, made sure we've got fuel, tried to fire up with the gas cap off and back on. It sounds like there is no fuel getting into the system and when it was close . . . like one congested cough.
The boat is new and I doubt that I've got a lemon. While I assume all is in good working order (I know assuming is bad), but I want to see if I'm missing anything before I start "opening" things up or even taking to a mechanic.
Only other thing of note is that I'm at 6230 ft elevation.
Thanks for any insight!
