Procedure

Priming the FSM (Ran out of Fuel Condition) – Without Purge Tool

1. Verify the engine is in a level vertical position. 2. Verify the vessel fuel supply line is connected to the outboard fuel system inlet fitting. 3. Turn the ignition key on. The fuel pumps will run for approximately three to five seconds. 4. Turn the ignition key to the start position and release the key. The ECM controls the activation of the starter. The starter may continue cranking for up to eight seconds. WARNING: When priming a drained fuel system, residual fuel may cause the engine to flare and stall, which shortens the engine cranking event. 5. Continue with the ignition key on and start sequence until the engine continues to run. WARNING: Allow the starter motor to cool for 20 to 30 seconds between full eight-second crank events. Limit the number of events to a maximum of 10 full eight-second cranking events. 6. After the engine starts, it may run rough at idle for up to two minutes while the residual air is purged from the fuel system. 7. If the fuel system will not prime within 10 full eight-second cranking events, use the procedure 'Priming the FSM with a Fuel Pressure Gauge' to prime the fuel system.
