It shows an electric fuel pump. Part 21. Verify the existence/location of this pump. Turn on the key, press the start button and see if you feel/hear rapid clicking from the pump. If not, verify power to the pump. If you have power and it doesn't click, replace the pump. With a little research, you can find a generic and much cheaper replacement. Westerbeke will often relabel pumps made by Facit. Mine quit while motoring a couple years ago. When the electric fuel pump quits, the engine quits. Luckily, I had a spare on board. -- Dennis C.
