Not sure where my post disappeared to, but to continue, Yellowtail is still having problems with 2007 15MSH.
Fuel is fresh in both my tank and the gallon jug next to the 55-gallon drum. I took my fuel tank apart and blew through the fittings, same with the longer fuel hose in the inflatable. Pumped fuel through and check a sample: clean, no water. I swapped out my inline fuel strainer for a new one. I fed the fuel hose directly to a jerry can of gas with a hose 12-inches long, (thinking fuel pump). The engine still will not idle! [links]
The only difference I can tell is the fuel, the tank, and the hose. [links]
How old was the priming pump bulb? here

msd58. I thought the bulb was replaced along with the fuel hose when the fibreglass fuel tank delaminated and trashed the fuel system in 2002 but at this point I can't be certain. I had an R&R and D&A on the carbs. tank replacment and fuel hose exchanged at that time. As an aside.. Pate makes a fine fuel tank for the Boston Whaler but the life expectancy is 10 years and I can tell you from experience you don't want to wait until it comes apart internally to replace it. No leaks - just gunk that trashes the fuel system and if that trash reaches a high speed jet you'll burn a piston. I was lucky. here
With respect to fuel quantity all of the Yamaha digital display multi-function gauges operate the same. A white wire and a black wire from the gauge are connected to a pink (usually) wire and a black wire respectively at the fuel quantity sender. Which some will say should be called a rheostat. here
What in the heck is the fuel pump icon that is flashing? Fuel pump for what pump? A photo would be nice.
I am looking for wiring diagrams for ignition and gauges for 1989 Yamaha 200s ETXF and LETXFs.
My dilemna(s) are.
Fuel gauge bars do not display and fuel pump icon flashes constantly, random numbers flash at times they display goes blank. there is fuel in tank.
To test the gauge connect the black wire to the white wire at the tachometer. The bars should all illuminate indicating a full fuel tank. Disconnect the black wire and the bars should disappear except for the bottom bar which will flash. here
