A picture of the selector valves might help. Unless someone knows that specific model, they may not know the layout or configuration. Also, some things could have changed by a prior owner.

Have you checked the anti-siphon valve at the tank(s)? Do you know that fuel is even getting up to the fuel pump?

Do you just have two fuel tanks or do you have three? On my 3607 (predecessor to your 3608), I could have either engine on either tanks. Later models only let you switch between a main tank and an aux tank.

The fuel selector for each engine, no matter which choice is selected, the engine will get fuel from a tank, whether it be port, starboard, or genny.
Have you attempted it in all three positions.
Thanks
