My friend has a 1995 115 hp Evinrude starting problem.
The primer bulb in fuel line will not pump up to a hard feel. When he attempts to start the engine it cranks for a long time until it starts. Once started it runs well the rest of the day. He has replaced the primer bulb.

Ron, If he cannot get the primer bulb to pump up firm, if the primer bulb is good, the engine would be filling up with fuel, and it would hydrolock, or you woulld see a large fuel spot on the water. If you do not see that, the primer bulb is installed incorrectly or defective. The arrow on the bulb needs to point to the motor.

Does your friend choke the motor when cold starting it? He needs to push and hold the choke button until the motor starts.
