I have a mecury sport jet 120 hp, I just rebuilt the engine from ground up.
I have problems with it starting that I can't figure out , when I have it hooked up to water hose in my driveway it fires up just fine, but when I get it in the water, I have to prime it with starter fluid to get it to fire.
Can't figure this one out, once it fires it ones fine and then I shut it down out at the lake and wait awhile there I go again, have to prime it .
What gives, where do I start to troubleshoot this one???
