Recently purchased 2000 225 Optimax. It had set up for over a year and would not start. I work mostly on Johnson/Evinrude, and this is my first Optimax. Ran auto diagnostic with a DDT, all systems pass and no faults. Cleaned out the varnish in the vapor seperator. Still not starting. No fuel at the test point on the stbd. fuel rail. Checked fuel from vapor seperator to low pressure pump. Fuel supply good. Checked to make sure fuelpump turns on when key is in the run position. It activates for the 2 seconds as per service manual. Pulled hose from top of low pressure fuelpump to the vapor seperator. With the key in the run position, there is no fuel out the low pressure pump. My manual states 6-9 psi out of the pump to the high pressure pump. I've tried with the key on and also cranking, still no fuel out. I've even tried another low pressure pump, with the same results. Am I missing something with my reading of the service manual? Stumped in Florida.
