    VP 5.0GXi-B issue - low RPM/problem with a plane

    So this is a used motor? Cranking it more times would not increase the amount of pressure Your motor uses a flat style cap. Check timing of the distributor. Check the fuel pressure at the rail, should be 50-60 psi (3.4-4.0 bar)

    VP 5.0GXi-B issue - low RPM/problem with a plane

    Mercury 2019 - 20HP EFI - Manual start

    I would first disconnect line going into VST and see if you can get any fuel to come out. If fuel comes out then go into the VST, could be the needle is stuck or it may be clogged.
