Just pulled my lower end off a 1988 alpha one and changed out the sea pump.. Placed unit back on and started engine up to test pump to see if i did it right.. Checked forward and reverse then decided to let engine come up to temp and see if the thermostat was ok..After engine ( V6 ) ran for a bit ( 15-20 mins) it just died off.. Checked inline filter, cleaned it out and replaced it.. Took fuel line from tank to carb off and checked to see if i had any gas coming to the carb and found there was no flow.. Put gas in carb with sprayer and engine would fire until it went dry again... I'm guessing fuel pump, but was wondering if there was any kind of interlock i might have hit or set off while changing sea pump out.. This boat is a 1988 but only has 290 hours on it so i have a hard time believing the fuel pump has gone south unless maybe the diafram has dryed out.. Any idea's out there... ?
