225 ficht motor

Does anyone know what a lifter pump is and what it does on a 2000 225 evinrude

On a DFI engine you will have 2 fuel pumps. The lift pump is a mechanical pump that pulls the fuel out of the tank in the boat and pushes it throught the water seperator and into a small "fuel tank" on the engine that is called a VST. The VST is where the electric fuel pump gets it's fuel supply from. Hope this helps!

Could it cause the motor to not start but if you spray gas in the 6 ports in the front it will start right up everytime its like its starving for gas

Not a ficht expert, but from what I understand about the OMC DFI,The ECU has a start circuit that increases the pulsewidth of the injectors to "choke" it if you will. Mercury EFI does this as well by tripling the normal pulsewidth for start up when the engine is below a certain tempature. You may want to call DFI Technologies at (866) 298-1510. They may be able to tell you over the phone what you need to do. They are the ones who made it!!!!! Hope this helps!
