Engines won't start

bobsampayan

2005 Rinker 342 w/ twin 5.7 volvo's.  Port engine wouldn't start and it was determined to be a bad fuel pump.  Now neither start.  Both crank over but neither will start.  New fuel in tanks.  Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

You are not getting spark or fuel

It’s possible they closed fuel valves when they replaced the pump. Verify the correct valves are open.

To check spark pull coil wire put close to a ground source turn over and see if you have spark.
There is a sharder valve(like a tire valve) on intake you can check that to see you you have fuel.

you most likely need to replace these:

Don't focus on the price, their are much better prices available for aftermarket units if you shop around.

I agree and would make sure all fuel valves are open before doing anything else

Thanks guys. It's been recommended that I also test the ignition switches and ignition ground.  It's going to be a cold day down at the marina!

Yes much better prices. You can get them for about $200 aftermarket on that specific model fuel pump. 

I don't know why both engines would suddenly not start but I think fuel being shut off or some sort of ground issue for spark maybe that would affect both engines.
