:confused::confused:Hi from New Orleans,
Ok from the beginning, I bought a 2004 Supra Launch LTS a few months back. It has a Indmar V8 305 motor in it. A few weeks ago, it kept overheating when idling but as I ran the engine, the temperature dropped. I am a 24 year old girl that knows nothing about boats but am learning as the days go by. I purchased an impeller online and watched a how to video and installed it myself. I started the boat while the cover was off of the impeller compartment and immediately after the boat would not start. I thought maybe I had messed with the kill switch unknowingly or screwed something up by starting it with the cover off and possibly got air in the line? The boat is not getting any fire to it. I have been asking around for answers and yesterday someone mentioned the fuel pump. We put gas in the carb and it started so I am thinking I need one. I have searched everywhere to find out what kind of fuel pump I need. Electrical? Mechanical? If anyone has any ideas or answers, I'd appreciate it! Thanks, Britt :confused:
