can you spash a little fuel down the t body to see if it would try to start? curious if my fuel pump is shot. or is this only something that works on carbs. yes i know there is a shrader valve to check but i dont have a gauge to check.

a little, yes. then get the fuel container away, preferably out of the boat before cranking!! was messing with my hatteras a few years ago. squirt of gas, a backfire. it is a REALLY uncomfortable sensation to lift up your hand and see it on fire!!!
