It is a very tough engine to work on. I have the full service manual, but it is like reading Chinese.

There is an internal fuel filter as well as my external, but it is very complicated to get to, which is why I would rather take it to a pro.

Like I said, it is a very difficult engine to work on. The guy at Billington was very good and I was happy with him. I am very bummed that he is gone. I need someone familiar with the engines, and someone that has the computer to plug into it and read what errors I am getting. The internal fuel filter has a sensor and if it is colgged it should send a code...

Getting someone to work on these evinrude fichts is very hard any time of year, let alone this time.
An engine is an engine, just a few more electronics thrown in..They're nothing compared to the Cummings electronic Diesels I worked on..I may have access to a Ficht readout box too...

do you mean the systemcheck gauge? I have the combo tach/systemcheck, and it is not flashing anything out of the ordinary. turn on, one beep, all 4 lights lit, then they go out one by one, which is what it always does.
