Hey guys, so my boat ('85 210 Monaco, 230 hp alphaone) is currently at the marina in order to resolve a hard hot start issue (boat turning over strong but not starting after sitting for a while 20-30min?).
There is a clear/yellowish fuel line that connects to the carb as seen in the picture, that looks as if it always has fuel in it. Someone has mentioned this is a fuel pump issue (fuel pump diaphragm has failed) and that replacing the fuel pump is the first step. Can anyone confirm this is an issue?
I have already given the go ahead to do a carb rebuild, but I am not sure it is necessary. Should I go with fixing this fuel pump or just do both?
