Testing Fuel Pump Problem: Air Bubbles in Fuel Line Low fuel in tank. Fill tank with fuel. Loose fuel line connection. Check and tighten all connectors. Fuel pump fitting loose. Tighten fitting. A hole or cut in fuel line. Check condition of all fuel lines and replace Fuel Pump anchor screw(s) loose.
2. Disconnect pulse hose. 3. Remove two mounting screws. 4. Remove fuel pump from engine. Clear Hose T-fitting Vacuum Gauge (obtain locally) Vacuum Test Troubleshooting This test is normally performed at an idle speed. As engine rpm increases, there will be a slight increase in vacuum.
Cleaning/Inspection 2. Install check valves and retainers into fuel pump body. 1. Clean fuel pump housing, check valves, pulse chamber and pump base in solvent and dry all but check valves with compressed air. 2. Inspect each check valve for splits, chips and for proper sealing against pump housing.

Fuel Rail Electrical/Fuel Determination Perform all preliminary checks page 3C-12. Adequate fuel pressure (36 to 39 psi; 248 to 269 kPa) follow Low/High Fuel Route Flow Charts. Place outboard in water or on flush attach- ment (P/N 44357A2) run engine speed be- tween 2000 and 2500 RPM.
EFI System Test Procedures STEP 2: Prime engine using fuel primer bulb. Fuel Gauge Connection/Pressure Test IMPORTANT: When checking fuel pressure while engine is running, fuel pressure may fluctuate. Fuel pressure fluctuation (i.e. 36 to 39 psi “213 to 290 kPa”) is common, as the regulated pressure is a differential between fuel rail and manifold vacuum.
Vapor Separator Fuel Delivery Test STEP 4: Look for fuel flow from hose. Purpose: Verifying there is adequate fuel flow to the electric fuel pump (through full RPM range) will determine components in low pressure fuel system are functioning correctly. Procedure: STEP 1: Remove hose from intake port of electric fuel pump and put discon- nected end of hose in clean container.
STEP 3: Turn ignition key switch to “START” Water Separating Filter Flow Test position and operate starter motor for 15 Purpose: This test will indicate if water separating to 20 seconds. filter is clogged. Procedure: STEP 1: Remove fuel inlet hose to START water separating filter.
STEP 4: Look for fuel flow from hose. Pulse Fuel Pump Delivery Test Purpose: This test will indicate pulse fuel pump is capable of supplying the low pressure fuel route with adequate fuel supply. Procedure: STEP 1: Remove inlet hose to pulse fuel pump and put end into clean container.
Results: Fuel flows freely from pulse pump inlet STEP 2: Remove filter cap. hose. Remove, disassemble, and inspect pulse fuel pump (Section 3A). IMPORTANT: All fragments of failed pump must be located before re-assembly. No or low fuel flow from pulse pump inlet hose. Check for restrictions, holes, or loose connections from fuel supply.

EFI System Test Procedures 2. Prime engine using fuel primer bulb. Fuel Gauge Connection/Pressure Test IMPORTANT: When checking fuel pressure while engine is running, fuel pressure may fluctuate. Fuel pressure fluctuation (i.e. 34 to 36 psi “234 to 248 kPa”) is common, as the regulated pressure is a differential between fuel rail and manifold vacuum.
Vapor Separator Fuel Delivery Test 3. Turn ignition key switch to “START” and operate starter motor for 10 to 20 seconds.

Table of Contents Page Exhaust Emissions Standards ... . . 3F-1 What Are Emissions ....3F-1 Hydrocarbons - HC .
Exhaust Emissions is a harmless gas. But carbon often combines with in- sufficient oxygen (one carbon atom with one oxygen Standards atom). This forms carbon monoxide, CO. Carbon monoxide is the product of incomplete combustion Through the Environmental Protection Agency and is a dangerous, potentially lethal gas.
As the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner, combustion temperatures increase. Higher combustion temperatures raise the NOx content of the exhaust. But, enrichening the air/fuel ratio to decrease combustion temperatures and reduce NOx also increases HC and CO, as well as lowering fuel economy.
STRATIFIED VS HOMOGENIZED CHARGE DFI engines use a stratified charge inside the combustion chamber to aid in reducing emissions. All other models use a homogenized charge. The difference between the two is: Homogenized Charge Stratified Charge A homogenized charge has the fuel/air particles A stratified charge engine only pulls air through the mixed evenly throughout the cylinder.
