    Another small update
    Met up with a local mechanic to try another ECU
    The symptoms did change but the boat still will not plane
    Currently with my ECU the boat won’t get much past 12-1300 rpm
    With the other ECU(for a 200 xri) I could make it to about 2000-2200 rpm but still not have enough power to break over and plane out

    So he suggested we spray fuel into the intake while trying to plane to see if it picked up any and it did try to accelerate so this leads us to believe I’m having a fuel issue.

    This information prompted me to remove the vst and inspect it
    The vst was clean with no , or very little debri inside
    I did however discover that my check valve before the electric fuel pumps internals are pretty much non existent and I can make the check valve flow both directions.

    Now, my question is would the check valve being able to back flow cause fuel starvation?
    I can’t find any pictures of what the check valve is supposed to look like inside but whatever the orange piece is inside of it is gummy and falling apart

    Are you talking about the needle attached to float in vst?

    Have you removed fuel pressure regulator and checked for flow?

    No sir
    my vst has the external pump
    right before the u shaped hose there is a brass check valve that feeds the electric pump
    I assume the deteriorated orange piece that’s inside of mine that used to be a rubber disc similar to the ones in the pulse pump, but mine is trashed, gummy, and part of it is missing


    Also I have not checked for flow out of the regulator but my fuel pressure had previously checked out so I never bothered
    Once I get the vst sorted back out and put back on I’ll do a flow test

    Good to know! I'm sure it's there for a reason. Not sure that would cause the syptoms your experiencing, unless it's obstructing the line or making your pump cavitate.
    Maybe some of the pieces are stuck in your regulator?

    It’s possible
    the screen in the u shaped line was intact and not clogged but that doesn’t mean some of it didn’t make it past that screen

    I wish I could find a pic of what the check valve is supposed to look like on the inside

    Regardless though, Mercury calls it a check valve and it definitely is not “checking “
    and as you stated I’m sure they had good reason to put one in the system
    Bad part is that part is almost 400.00 bucks if you can find one

    I doubt the problem is "not checking"... probably something in there is loose and getting sucked into the outlet blocking the flow?

    Let's just go ahead and make America great again!

    In the second photo you can barely see the gap on the right side
    My assumption is that the orange piece is supposed to function similar to the discs in the pulse fuel pump, only allowing flow one way
    Whereas this piece missing allows flow in both directions
    Again I’m not understanding how that would starve the fuel though??

    Like I said, probably the spring or something is missing so the "stopper" is partially blocking the outlet.

    If you sorted out your fuel delivery it might be an idea to get a scope like this
    https://electronoobs.com/eng_gadgets_gad1.php
    you can check different signals suchs as injector but most importantly flywheel trigger magnet pulse

    Yes there is
    I replaced mine when I changed all the rubber hoses
