This is an outboard, right?


A 250 Cubic Inch 165 hp outboard by Mercruiser? No... this is an I/O
with a Chevrolet-based I-6 engine... which is why I question the
"pumping the fuel bulb" part of the problem...

This has to be right. Out first boat had a 165 hp Mercrusier io. (1970
trihull) The thing had more pulling power than a tractor. That 250cid
block would make one tall outboard :-)

I am confused by the primer bulb comment as well..
