2005 Mobius LSV not getting fuel to the engine
I have a 2005 Mobius LSV that won't start. I've never had this problem before, it's always started right up, but when I went to put it in for the first time this weekend, it wouldn't start. The engine turns over fine, but won't start. At first I thought it might be the kill switch but checked it by bridging the two wires and that did nothing. Then we pour a little gas in the throttle body and it started right up, but stalls after the gas runs out. We checked the fuel filter and there's fuel in it and it's not clogged. Has anyone had this problem, and is there something else I can check that would cause this?

2005 Mobius LSV not getting fuel to the engine
When is the last time you changed the fuel filter?
Sounds like its not getting fuel, so run through that system. Filter, pump, etc.
Is that a carb or fuel injected motor?

Fuel Injected or carb? If injected go to autozone and borrow a fuel pressure gauge and check the pressure. If carbourated ask someone old.

It's fuel injected. I've never changed the fuel filter and I bought the boat new in 2005. We pulled the fuel filter off and blew on it and fuel came out of it, so I don't think that's the problem.

I have disconnected the fuel fead line at the base of the back of the engine (on the outback at least) and cycled the ignition switch to on. If everthing works, the pump will "prime" and fuel will shoot out of the hose. No, it's not "safe" or environmentally friendly, but it is free and no tools. That will let you know if you have flow up to the injectors. If no fuel comes out, you look further back toward the fuel tank.
A gauge will tell you the pressure, which is good info unless the pressure is zero.1997 MasterCraft 205

Catch the fuel and dump it in the lawnmower. I used to use my extra "mixed" 2 cycle gas in the lawnmower all the time back in the outboard days. Good for mosquito control too.

thanks for all of the feedback. As soon as it stops raining here in Michigan, I'm going to replace the fuel filter and check if the pump is priming the fuel. I'll let you know what happens, hopefully tomorrow...
