 that's the issue now...pressing in the key once will give it a shot of gas, the third press gives nothing. As recommended, I have to check my fuel line for air leaks. I trust what was said here, but I truly believe that solenoid should give up gas beyond one push if the line is sufficiently pressurized.
Ahhhh, boat ownership.
