Hi. I have an old Quadrunner 250 (about 1990 vintage). I have to crank the starter for a very long time before the engine fires (but it always does start). I assume this is because it takes a long time to pump fuel to the engine. Can I fit a 'primer pump' of some sort to prime the carb? Hope this makes sense! Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks, Richard

You could fit a primer.
Engine ever been compression tested recently?
Battery in good shape and engine cranking over quickly?
Could try spraying a bit of fuel through the carb and see if it starts quicker.

Hard starts are often attributed to out of spec valves. Check the valve clearances and adjust them if necessary. And welcome to the Forum.
