The gas that was in the tank was very old, about three years, so I drained it
out and put 5 gallons of new gas in it. The engine is a mercruiser 140. The
slow cranking was just because I had light duty jumper cables so it wasn't
getting enough power to the starter. When I connected the battery to the
terminals it cranked fine. It's possible that there is rust and other crap in
the tank. Is the fuel filter/water separator inside the tank or outside
somewhere?
