Hello All,
I truly hope everyone has an opportunity to enjoy this special holiday while keeping in mind those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so we may enjoy the freedoms we have!
I have a 3208 Turbo on our DeFever 53 and she has decided to take the weekend off! Fortunately we are staying on terra firma and not competing with the crazies on the water.
After I had done minor maintenance, the starboard engine would not start. She cranked with gusto but would not lite off.
I replaced the primary filters, the secondary filters and bled the fuel system. I even checked the shut off solenoid. Still no luck!!
When checking the shut off solenoid, I noticed fuel under the solenoid. Hmmm, me thinks it's not supposed to be there. I compare with the other side and she is dry!
My next thought is I have a problem with the fuel pump.
Does anyone have an idea of a fuel pump replacement cost?
Should I do both engines with the idea that if one has failed, then the other is next to go!
How complicated is it to replace?
I'll hang up now and listen.
Enjoy the weekend!!
