8V92 Won't Start

[zubzub]

Very interesting thread. I had always noticed that fuel pumps hardly ever come up when trouble shooting DD 2 strokes.  I kind of thought that they were an almost never fail design, seeing as they were impellers and no one seemed to have problems with them.  Since my previous experience is with old gas vehicles I am very used to checking FP output as step 2 after checking for spark.  Also nice to hear you got it all done yourself, as a dyed in the wool DIYer it is always heartening to see someone else get to the bottom of a no start.  Thanks for the update, no start threads are always the ones I read most carefully, all the trouble shooting suggestions can be chaotic but the final solution is usually pretty simple and reminds me to keep it simple when trouble shooting.
