Hey guys the one engine in my speedster is very hard to start I have to hold the button for a min or so just to get it to start any ideas what's causing this.

Nope.

What have you checked? What do you do to start it? What does the engine do, once it's started????


Since we aren't standing there... you have to describe what is going on.

SO... at this point... I will say it's either an Alien spacecraft sucking power... or a small gnome is living in the pistons. (lol) Sorry about that... but I'm seeing way to many of these threads in the last few weeks.

Sorry when they get started they run great no problems to start choked or not you have to hold the button to the point of almost killing the battery. It then sputters and then starts right up.
I tried changing the fuel diaphram no luck worse even. I wish you could post vids that would be alot eaiser.

Ok so I took the fuel out line off the carb and turned it over no fuel came out and it would not start so I put gas down the plugs and it stated right up and then died I pushed the button for a while and it came back to life with gas coming out of the outlet. I see on this model of boat it has external fuel pumps unlike my 97 xp the pump was in the carb could the fuel pump just be tired and not getting fuel is my problem.
Now the hard part the fuel pump is discontinued aswell as rebuilds so what are people using for pumps and when can I get one in Ontario

I replaced mine with genuine mikuni high flow fuel pumps. Problem solved.

You might find some NOS fuel pumps somewhere. racerxxx might be able to help.
