Question about fuel delivery
With the fuel valve in the on position and the fuel filter removed should fuel flow via gravity and help fill the filter?
I’m having issues on the starboard side and no fuel flow to the filter.. my Port side has constant flow that would easily fill & prime the filter???
I thought I had a fuel pump issue on starboard and was getting ready to replace it but decided to change the port side filter and ohm out both pumps… that’s when I discovered the fuel flow which I don’t have on the starboard side …. Obviously this bat is new to me and I’m no mechanic… I’m “learning “ thanks so much for your help!!

Re: Question about fuel delivery
That valve is in the fuel line fitting at the tank........should be one on both tanks....perhaps the port side one was removed or is stuck open. They are designed to open on fuel pump suction only and prevent syphon action in case of a fuel line rupture etc.
