REFLECTOR: IO 360 wont stay running

[Laurence Coen]

Jeff,

Your engine fuel pump, having sat for 4.5 years, needs to be disassembled and cleaned with mineral sprits. As to fuel in only one tank, in the normal fuel system setup, fuel in one tank will flow into the center sump and then into the other main tank.  If you have valves that allow isolation of the mains then fuel flowing from one main into the center sump would keep the engine supplied.

I purchased a V173RG, it had been sitting 4.5 years here in a hanger in Dry Utah.
I drained the fuel and then gave it to my mechanic who changed the oil. Added some fuel to one tank, did a Comp test. All very good, high 70s. Started the engine, but it dies when the boost pump is switched off. Anyone have any suggestions?
Could not having fuel in the 2nd tank be a problem?
Could it be a non functioning Mechanical fuel pump on the engine (maybe dry diaphragm from sitting so long)?


Thx, Jeff
