When starting boat, i prime the bulb and she takes 3 or 4 long cranks, with choke, to start and stay running. Some times i have to put it in neutral and rev it to get her going. (200hp Merc carbed,year 2000) When i check the bulb it is half soft. Same thing when running for awhile and then cutting her off for 20 minutes, she wants to start but sputters and dies unless i rev it a little. Again soft prime bulb. QUESTION- Do i just buy a new bulb, or is there somewhere else to look for this problem like vents or something. I dont know much so please explain as much as possible. Thank you,
