[QUOTE="westr212, post: 435207, member: 22045"] I Just water tested a new to me crestliner phantom 170 with a 1990 Johnson 88 spl. Engine runs fine at idle. Electric choke works. Fuel lines and primer bulb look to be recent (good flexibility and lack of sun or weathering problems. I pump fuel in with bulb and that works, but I expected to have the bulb get had and difficult to pump once carbs filled. I can keep pumping and the primer bulb never gets hard. Is this normal or should I expect full float bowls and then a really firm primer bulb? So I get the boat up on plane and it quickly is starved for fuel. I am able to get it to run at high rpm by holding the electric choke in continuously. What should I check to trouble shoot this? Thanks, Paul [/QUOTE]
