1987 140 V4..
I was told my Electric primer is defective by a local dealer and should be replaced.
It does click when I push on the ignition.
I was thinking on removing the hoses (both sides) highlighted in the attached photo and verify is gas squirts out when I push on the key.
Assuming I see gas then the all is well yes?
Reason is when I trailer the boat to the dock it takes a while and lots if spinning to start even after priming it and using the choke.
I am suspecting its not getting a nice shot of gas to start cold? After starting even warm I have to move the throttle up a little for it to start then moving it back instantly to idle it will continue to run fine.
My goal is to get it to start easily rather than spinning the starter.
