I could not tell if I was getting fuel in the carb, but I took the line
loose from the pump to the carb at the carb and got fuel to spew out
(into a coke bottle). After I did this, the engine hit a couple times
but then wouldn't hit again. I'm thinking the pump is primed but I may
have water in the fuel. By the way, I have only owned the boat for
about a month and it's my first i/o (had a pontoon with outboard) so
I'm a little on the slow side when it comes to i/o boating.
