cgraz1 1) Disconnect the gas line where it exits the boat, stick in a small gas tank or jar of gas and run. (I have small tank I use with quick disconnects so I can run the engine dry) If it runs on the spare tank 2) Test Southern Cross' idea: Try running with the fuel cap off (on muffs or in a barrel) Check if you can see a separate vent hose running from the tank. If not it must vent through the fill hose.
If it still won't run, go for the ASV. It will probably break off when you try to remove it. Mine did. so get the whole pick up tube assembly before you start. I myself did not replace the ASV; you have to decide if you want to do it My guess is they last about 10 years. As long as you are in there , consider replacing all your fuel lines and put in a Racor.

I am new to this forum. I have a 2005 Sea Pro 2100. I think the fuel vent must be blocked. It takes forever to put fuel in the tank and it spits it out if the rate is increased beyond a very slow rate. Where is the vent? Is there a way to clean the vent? Thanks. fm I have had the same experience for years. I used to think it was the vent, a kink in the hose or somehow the cold weather was causing (late season striper fishing). Then I realized it NEVER happened when it was on the trailer at the gas station, only marinas. That's when I noticed how big the gas pump hoses are and how fast the gas is dispensed at the dock! my guess is the tiny vent hoses don't equalize the pressure fast enough.
