2021 DIY: I Cleaned the Vapor Separator Tank (VST) on a Mercury Outboard EFI

Thanks: I changed the low and high pressure fuel filters, replaced the low pressure fuel pump, and finally, cleaned the very dirty VST filter. It ran like a charm. It was fuel starvation.

Got a little dizzy from the Bourne Identity camera work but was able to get it at the end...

I’ve the same issue on low rpm. Did it solved the problem?

No. My low pressure fuel pump was the culprit. The VST suffered fuel starvation. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ6bqXqYmZqglas

Hey I’m having a problem on a 2012 mercury 90 EFI. The fuel pumps have been replaced twice and it will run out of fuel and shut off. If I pump the bulb it will run fine. I have replaced fuel lines and both pumps twice at this point, do you think cleaning this would solve the problem I bought someone else’s problem thinking it was a running motor. The mechanic said there was water in it when he got it.
