8. Turn the ignition key on. When the fuel pumps stop running, start the

engine. The engine may not start on the first attempt. The engine will run

rough at idle for up to two minutes while the residual air is purged from the

fuel system.

Priming the FSM (Ran out of Fuel Condition)

The use of a purge tool for priming the FSM is the preferred method, but is not

always practical. When the vessel fuel system is void of fuel volume, it can be

primed without the use of a purge tool. The objective is to purge the air

entrained in the fuel system through the fuel injectors during engine cranking to

allow fuel to enter the fuel module. This method can be used on vessels where

the fuel inlet system to the outboard is less restrictive and holds a relatively

small volume of fuel; a short fuel supply line, no water separating fuel filter, or a

water separating fuel filter is already primed. If a primer bulb is installed, it can

be used during the priming event to shorten the amount of time required to start

the engine.

1. Verify the engine is in a level vertical position.
2. Verify the vessel fuel supply line is connected to the outboard fuel system

inlet fitting.

3. Turn the ignition key on. The fuel pumps will run for approximately three

to five seconds.

4. Turn the ignition key to the start position and release the key. The ECM

controls the activation of the starter. The starter may continue cranking for

up to eight seconds.

NOTE: When priming a drained fuel system, residual fuel may cause the

engine to flare and stall which shortens the engine cranking event.

5. Continue with the ignition key on and start sequence until the engine

continues to run.

IMPORTANT: Allow the starter motor to cool for 20 to 30 seconds between full

eight second crank events. Limit the number of events to a maximum of 10 full

eight second cranking events.

6. After the engine starts, it may run rough at idle for up to two minutes while

the residual air is purged from the fuel system.

7. If the fuel system will not prime within 10 full eight second cranking

events, use the previous procedure

Priming the FSM with a Fuel

Pressure Gauge

to prime the fuel system.
