One more thing I thought I'd mentioned. I just noticed that the electric choke wasn't fully closing the flap all the way. I will be adjusting that this afternoon. I'm not certain that would be the cause of anything but I thought I'd mention it.
Got it. I just replaced the fuel pump 2 years ago so hopefully that is not it. Knowing that the fuel pump is probably new, what else might stop the fuel pump from functioning during cranking?
The boat is from 2001. It probably has the original fuel plumbing. The fact that once it gets started it runs until I turn it off, would it still be a restriction in thr fuel lines?
When I advance throttle my Mercruiser 5.0, I do not see gas being squirted into the carburetor. As a result, if it sits for a week or so, it won't start no matter how many times I pump the throttle. If I add gas to the carburetor, it starts up and runs until I turn it off so I don't think it's...
