boat ran fine 2 weeks ago, tried to start today fuel pump does'nt seem to produce.unhooked both intake lines and turned over engine , i feel very weak suction on the intake side both in front of and behind sediment bowl, filters looks clean, should it be a pretty strong suction? want to order part but thought you might have some ideas first, you always do.

Hey 65..

Have you tried to simply disconnect the line TO the carb, turn her over for a second and see the level of fuel going to the carb?

Have a can or jar to catch the fuel, helps to have somebody hitting the key while you inspect the amount of fuel being or not being pumped.
