I have a problem that I could use some help understanding. I am not getting fuel to the injectors on my Universal M25.
I have a facet lift pump that takes fuel from the tank and forwards it to the fuel filter and then on to the injector "pump" on the engine where there is a bleed point.
The facet pump clicks as if it is working. I removed the filter canister from the Fram mounting bracket. When I apply power to the facet pump, although it chatters, no fuel reaches the filter. Intermittently the fuel will reach the bleed point on the engine and the engine will run for about 5 secs.
I removed the bottom of the facet pump and looked into it. The screen at the bottom looked clean as did the fuel accumulated there. The filter in the canister on the Fram mount downstream of the lift pump appeared more dirty. I cannot see the actual filter because it is in a metal casing in side the canister.
Fuel was last introducted into the tank a year and a half ago when I topped it up. I do not know how long the fuel that was then in the tank had been there. The boat did not get much use.
I put in a few gallons of new fuel.
I wonder if:
1. The fuel filter is clogged and prevents all fuel from flowing downstream.
2. The Fram mount does not allow fuel to flow when the fuel filter is removed?
3. The fuel is so old that it is no longer viable?
Does anyone have helpful input?
