I installed a new engine in my boat. Was a 350 magnum, new engine a carb'd 6.2 scorpion. The fuel system has been apart and I'm not sure if there's anything special needed to get a prime after everything has been apart. I smoked the old starter with too much cranking trying to get fuel to the carb. How long should it normally take to fill the fuel water separator on a first start like this? Before I smoked the starter, it did run shortly on carb cleaner, it has spark. Trying to get a prime to the carb so I can get 'er running and set base timing.
Any special way to get the fuel system primed before I start cranking on the replacement starter?
