The engine in a boat I purchased recently is very difficult to start when cold. I just did a 100-hour service but the problem still persists. I have a 5.7 Volvo with single barrel carburator.
I have to pump the throtle many times and still it takes 4 to 5 tries for the engine to start. Is this normal? If not, is there anything I can do?
Thanks
