The fuel pump, if mechanical, may have just started to fail last start,
now when trying, the diaphragm failed completely and no pumping. As
Chuck said, trace back to where you find fuel. If present up to the
pump(or water separator/filter) ck for good seal there, as an air leak
will let the fuel pump suck air instead of fuel. If the system is
tight,the pump is probably bad.

Put my boat (3.0L) in the garage for the winter last Oct. No fuel
stabilizer. 1/2 tank of gas.

Pulled it out periodically to start it...no problem.

Hadn't pulled it out since December so I pull it out a couple of weeks
ago and couldn't get it started. Fuel line to the fuel pump was dry.
No time to troubleshoot further so I stuck it back in the garage. Put
fuel stabilizer in at that point.

Pulled it put today. Sprayed carb-cleaner down the carb to give it a
kick.

It started up fine and ran very smooth.

Ran smooth for 5-10 minutes and then stopped dead. Won't start. It
will sputter if I spray carb cleaner in it, but it's not getting fuel.

What probably happened?

Thanks.
