Won't start cold "blue band merc"

[Merc-Man]

I have a '79 115 mercury...last weekend made the mistake of two cans of oil 6 gallons of gas...relized what I did after a while added straight gas ran it down to almost empty and refilled....I installed new plugs and thought lessoned learned....I'm having trouble starting it cold....pulled the cover gave it a shot of wd-40 fired right up....bulb doesn't feel hard should I change bulb or entire line? I've had this motor forever never done anything but change water pump every other year....is it time to have carbs rebuilt? Thanks for any help....

Change the fuel lines from tank to engine or all the lines inside housing...Thanks for the input!

your fuel pump should be changed, its easy and cheap...
