Wanted to get pumped up for the boating season today by firing up the twin 4.3 thunderbolt ignition alpha one gen ones. The port engine started with no issues. The starboard engine would only turn over. I removed the spark arrestor and had my girlfriend pumped the throttle back and forth with no fuel squirting from the jets. I couldn't spend a lot of time on this today but tomorrow i'm going to head back down and see if I can figure this out. Maybe check the fuel line at the carb , check the fuel pump? I was hoping someone out there had a similar issue and could head me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for the feedback

I would check the anti siphon valve, then the fuel filter and fuel pump.
