My 1996 carver has twin crusad
My 1996 carver has twin crusader 454. Since replacing the fuel filters (racor #110) one engine requires 2-3 minutes of cranking before starting. We pause every 15 seconds. After warm up it runs perfect. And will restart. The other engine will start up right away also had filter changed as well. It sounds basic but is it losing it's prime? Recently when trying to start the engine I had my wife crank the engine over and I pressed what looks like a valve stem )loacted between the Racor filter and an inline filter)and it started right up. Is there something my mechanic could have forgotten when he replaced the filters.
