1997 225 SWS Fuel issue.

After soaking in solvent overnight I got one of the pumps to start working again.

I now have the other soaking and will try it in the morning. The common link had to be the fuel even though it still looks and smells fine.

Excellent, just saved a bunch of $.

I was about to give up on pump #2 when after 3 days of soaking, cleaning and soaking again it freed up!

It had to be the fuel going bad in the VST tanks to affect both pumps the same way. I have some new gaskets on the way and hopefully all will be well.

Thanks for the help.

Excellent!! Just make sure the VST float needle valve is not stuck/varnished up either..
