We've been having some problems starting the new engine. There have been a couple of times when we needed to run the lift pump to clear air in the fuel lines to get it started. Today the engine cut out and later refused restart. I recently installed a charging relay for the batteries and thought the batteries could be to blame. The starter was turned over. Volts at the engine read 12.6 which is normal.
Finally, Wendy suggested that the tank might be empty. We added a gallon from the reserve tank and she fired straight up. Doh!
Can't be sure whether the tank was empty -- the fuel gauge read 3/4 full. However, it has read the same since it was installed. Will know for sure when we fuel up next week.
