Fuel problem on 370. I have a 2010 370 with 496 B-3's with Axius. I had a fuel problem about a week ago when starboard engine just shut off. Limped back to dock and tried to figure out what was happening. Played with fuel solenoids, turn knob to bypass and eventually got it running. Then port engine did exact same thing. The next day, I put an ohm meter on all three solenoids - all where within range (2 were at 15, one at 16). Checked voltage at the solenoids (disconnected plug) and all were good. Thinking it was a fluke, put solenoid back to normal from bypass. Then yesterday, went for cruise and everything was running great. Just as I was pulling into dock at end of day, lost an engine and then the second one quit. After I tied up, played with bypass again, and after many tries (15-20 attempts), they both finally started. I can here both fuel pumps run and build pressure. I don't think it's a fuel filter issue (they run smooth and not coughing or sputtering). Is this an issue with heat in engine compartment causing solenoid to act up? Both times it happened, it was after an extended slow cruise (no wake back to dock). Is the slow speed allowing heat to build up and cause issues? Should I leave solenoids on bypass? I get no errors on vesselview. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Pete
