When you say you changed your fuel filter, is the it the primary 'Racor' type you changed out, or the Yanmar secondary fuel filter?

I'll assume primary. On my boat my fuel lines run 10 feet from primary filter to lift pump. Changing the primary puts a serious air gap in the fuel line by the time I get it full of fuel. The engines start, then litterally run out of fuel. I have to pull the fuel line off at the lift pump and use my mouth to suck the full through the line. Then use the lift pump to fill the fuel bowl of secondary filter and then I crack the banjo at the injector open a bit and use the lift pump until I have fuel at that point.

Engines start fine.
