Fuel Pump Reservoir: Inner Filter Replacement (Not lower filter) 2009 SEADOO GTX 215

[explorationdomination]

Hi Folks

Can anyone suggest what to do in this situation? I have been fixing the fuel system on my 2009 Seadoo GTX 215 after I left the craft sitting for 4 years and the tank got filled with gum, which I now know is caused by a bug growing from water in the fuel. I have cleaned everything out, but now the filter in the base of my fuel sender is badly damaged from the Fuel Cleaner fluid I used, it's age and the gum that got caught in this filter. It's not the lower filter, which is replaceable but the filter inside the pump reservoir. Please see the pictures.

Questions:
1. So, how do I replace this filter?
2. If it's not replaceable, do I have to buy a new sender or should I just clean this unit and keep running it as is?
3. Once I re-install the sender, the manual says I need to pressure test the fuel system. Is this necessary?



This is what my sender looks like....



Thanks in advance.

Looks like they sell a aftermarket inner filter for your ski, although not sure how the old comes comes out. Hopefully someone will chime in that's knows.

1. Simple replacement, reach in and pull it out with needle nose pliers.
2. There's actually 3 filters, 2 lower at the pump as seen in the link above and an upper at the top which is a total pain to change because the tabs will break so I generally don't change it and is normally fine.
3. You don't have to pressure test. See if it runs first and you can check the fuel injector spray pattern while cranking easy enough.

Thank you so much. symptom is it takes 3 or 5 cranks to start then runs rough for a few seconds (about the time it takes to go around and turn the water hose on) then quits . But it did run smooth few times much longer after going through the above four or six times. But the next day it was back to requiring multiple starts.
