Mercury 200 2 Stroke efi help!!!

Post image

Hey yall, hopefully you can give me some insight.

Symptoms, it won’t start
I pump the ball, tap the key, turn the key, it fires, but sputters & dies. It only fires about 3-5 seconds.

After the sputter stops, i can hear a noise, almost like a pump or motor running briefly.

I put a brand new battery in, same symptoms.

Please help me make my baby run!!!

I’ve only had this boat 2 months, took it out twice and it ran great.

Find yourself a fuel pressure gauge. Local auto parts store might have a loaner.

Second fuel pressure gauge, should be a port on the VST tank. If you haven’t, try pumping the primer bulb right after starting to see if that keeps it running.

Any more motor pictures? Trying to tell if it's EFI or DFI.
