Hello and thanks in advance for any assistance! I am trying to revive a 1998 Mariner Magnum 200 for a friend. It has sat for two years. I have replaced the plugs, rebuilt the low pressure pump and cleaned the screens in the external fuel lines. It starts right up and has strong fuel pressure. The spark is strong and blue on all cylinders.
The problem is none of the port side cylinders are getting fuel. There is a slight film of oil/gas mix after starting but nothing significant. The cylinders do not heat up when the motor is started and there is no change if you pull a plug. I am planning on pulling the injector cover and checking those lines and the fuel rails tomorrow.
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and could shed some light on what may be wrong. I have only run it for 10-15 seconds because I don't want to run it without oil in the cylinders so haven't really messed with it much. I'm just thinking since its all three cylinders that there is a fuel blockage soemwhere.
Any help would be appreciated- Thanks, Ricn
