1993 Force 150HP Wont start

[leonaed]

I have a 1993 150 HP Force that is very hard to start and some times it wont. There is spark to all plugs
and 120 compression at each 5 cyl . The plugs are new I believe the problem is in the fuel primer valve
I checked the voltage at the valve and it is 13 volts when the key is pushed into choke. I did the blow test
and it work like the manual said. but when i push the key in to the choke position, i don't hear or see the
little button on the valve move down could the valve be the problem.or should i hold the button down and then try to start it?

Yes you can try that, that will manually engage the choke system on carbs. If the
Piston on the choke solenoid isn't engaging when you hold the key in that that is
your prob. Bad solenoid or defective wiring.
