Finnished break in on 115 omc turbojet. Motor runs smooth and strong once she is all warmed up but I am still having some starting problems. When it sits for about an hour it takes forever to get it started even after re-pumping the bulb. I changed the bulb but it didn't help. I am beginning to think that my fuel pump may be weak or I have a problem with my primer solenoid. Thinking about just premixing and running an electric pump if so what kind should I be looking for?

Also as I turn the key only sometimes will it continue to turn over continuously. Usually it kicks and then the starter backs off. I think I still have a few bugs to work out. And again thanks eveyone for all the help getting me through my first rebuild of a marine engine. Happy 4th!!!
