Hello there, 1989 340 Sundancer twin 7.4,s with carbs and mechanical fuel pumps. Any suggestions on starting procedure of these engines after boat sits for a few days. Im sure fuel is draining back out of carbs but without overhauling and changing fuel system to electric what can I do? I pump the throttles a few times then turn key but to no avail will it fire, after at least 10 -20 pumps it will then fire but stall then retry key and away she goes. There has to be a better and quicker way. Thanks for any help with this Steve.
