Last year I installed an oil/water separator. When I tried to start the engine, it would not start. When I removed the gas line to the separator and hooked it directly to the bulb, Walla, it started. Later when I had the boat in the shop for an unrelated repair, I mentioned the problem to the mechanic. He said that I had to prime the oil/water separator which he did later, but didn't tell me how to do it. Now I'm ready to take the boat out and still don't know Jack about the priming part. I dumped the separator before winter. Heeeeeelp!!!!!!!!.
