Would a leaking solenoid prevent engine from starting correctly? I have the hardest time starting my motor. 1995 Johnson 150hp Oceanrunner. Never starts up right away and after letting it sit for an hour or so it starts right up and eventually shuts down unless I rev up the engine for a bit. Just today I took the cover off the carbs and noticed when pushing in the key for the primer it leaks gas from the red handle of the solenoid. Could this be the reason for me to have such a hard time getting the boat started? Batteries are charged and fuel lines and primer bulb are new. Thanks for your help!
