Was out fishing and the motor started running like crap. Ran fine when we left the dock. Got it back and found water in the seperator. Drained tank, vst, fuel water seperator, eventually replaced fuel water seperator. It never threw an alarm for water until after I replaced it. Got everything drained and put 15 gallons ethanol free gas 90 octane. Motor fires up just fine but won't rev up and dies out after about 5 to 10 seconds. I've cleaned out the vst tank, cleaned filter on the bottom of it. It had some sand but wasn't plugged. Replaced the low pressure fuel pump for ****s and giggles. The old 1 didn't look bad or dirty but I had 1 on hand so threw it on for peace of mind. I do have spark on all 6 plugs. It's acting like it's starving for fuel though. Any ideas or recommendations on what to check next? If needed I can upload a video to YouTube and link.
