ENGINE FUELING SYSTEM
All engines require a source of fuel in order to run. The fuel that an
engine uses, is not only comprised of gasoline (in some cases diesel),
but also air. This mixture of gas and air are combined into a ratio,
best suited for your engine, and therefore best suited for your boat. If
this system fails, the engine will have no fuel to compress and ignite.
It is important to make sure your fuel system is functioning properly.

ENGINE, OPERATE BLOWER FOR 4 MINUTES AND CHECK
