Post Engine won’t crank
I own a 36 hp prodrive. I cannot get the engine to turn over. It turns and turns but just won’t crank up. Pumping the bulb pumps fuel into the filter but the fuel drains right out after going in. I thought it might be a bulb issue so i changed it out but it’s doing the same thing. What might the problem be? Could it be something with the fuel line or could something be blocking fuel from getting to the engine? My fishing season is quickly approaching and i am currently out of a boat at the moment. Can someone please give me some possible solutions.

Thanks in advance!

Does the bulb get firm? Is your kill switch in good condition? Just looking at fuel filter won't diagnose if your getting Fuel to the carb.

There is a solenoid on the carb. Make sure you can hear it click when key is turned on
