I got a 1990 VX 250,twin tanks with a brass valve. I filled up the aux. tank 2 weeks ago for the 1st time and was gonna use that fuel today. (the tank was cleaned prior to) never had an issue. I went to use her today and the bulb won't fill. She was looking a little worn so I replaced her. I still could not get her to pump. I swapped her back to main tank and still the same thing. I kept squeezing and trying to start her and bam it was like a plug of crap came loose and it filled. I started the motor, she kept starting and dying. Finally she fired and ran 30 mins. and died and bulb went soft again. It will not refill
I have checked and tightened all connections and looked for leaks. The handle was a little loose on the tank valve so I tightened the main nut and then the handle was hard to turn. The boat has never had e10 in her ever, strictly marina fuel from Oniels marina in St.Pete The onlt thing that makes sense to me is that tank switching valve is somehow bad..... what do you guys think? It is the original I believe, the boat is a 1990 GW Gulfstream.
Thanks
