Hey guys,
I have a 50' gibson houseboat with twin crusader 454's. I recently pulled the port engine carb off to get rebuilt. I went to put the carb back on yesterday (along with new fuel/water seperator) and went to start the engine and nothing? All I did was pull the carb off and put it back on a few days later. I checked the fuel pump circuit breaker on top of the engine and it seems ok, i pulled the line off coming from the tank to the fuel/water filter and it was bone dry. It has a little black in line fuel pump right after the fuel/water filter so I was wondering if that maybe has a specific way it has to be primed? The engine always starts right up and has never had any issues besides the carburetor! Someone please help me get this thing fired up! Thank you very much.
