95 polaris SL650 runs 10 seconds then dies

[pwc311]

There was water in the seperator, which I removed. Ethanol was never a factor before, unless the 3 gallons left in there over winter is now affecting it. When its cold it will run for about 10-15 minutes before it dies, after that it will start right up then die a few seconds later, and just after dieing, it can be restarted right away, but then again only runs for about 5 seconds and again dies. I removed the air from the oil pump, pulled the oil pump out and tested that it pumped, installed new plugs, clean fuel filters, no water in fuel. Does this PWC have an emergency shut off when there is no oil, or if the engine gets too hot??????? I have spent end of last season and al of this season troubleshooting this issue. Please help

PS., Thank you Beerdarter for the manuals and guides!!! I haven't looked through them yet to resolve the issue.

Welcome to the Hulk.

Sounds like you're filters may be plugged inside the carbs. Your fuel hoses may be kinked or deteriorating. Fuel shut off valve may be plugged. Or the fuel pump may be failing.

If you still have the auto cok installed, you need to remove it.

Ok, I will look into fuel issues then. Fuel pumpIs it right for the oil to be dribbling from the knozzles in the carbs, or should it be squirting a little? What and where is the auto cok???

I took apart the fuel pump, and cleaned it, checked that it held 5lbs of pressure on the pulse side, blew out the lines, and checked the breathers and it runs like a champ. Thanks for the tips .
