So I decided to do a little preventative maintenance on my Sanger V-210 this weekend, and had a little trouble with the fuel filter. It has the 315 hp MPI engine if it matters. Anyways, I swapped the filter, it fired up for about 10 seconds, and died. Would not restart. Ended up having to finally take the filter back off, fill with gas, and reinstall in order to get the pump to prime. Has anyone else had this issue? I don't have a manual, but managed to find one for this motor on Gekko's site, and it didn't say anything about having to pre-fill the filter. It almost seems counter-productive to me to fill the filter with potentially dirty fuel before you even install it. Or am I looking at a potential fuel pump issue at some point in the near future?
