I have been having some dry start issues with my 1990 four Winns liberator 201 w/ mercruiser. I've had to sprinkle some gas into the carbs to get it fired . Once it is fired it runs fine. Any suggestions with what the issue could be. Thanks for your help,
Derek B.

What engine/ carb setup do you have?
Does your Accelerator Pump work?
Is your ignition timing ok?

It's a5.0 litre with a 2 barrel carb set up. As for accelerator pump and ignition time I'm not too sure, I am not that knowledgable on boat engines. Would you be able to tell me how to check these? Thank you very much for your help.

To check Accelerator Pump on a cold engine, remove the spark arrestor and have a friend pump the throttle while you're looking in to the carb's throat.
You should see a nozzle squirt 2 fuel jets in to the barrels.
You'll need a timing light to check correct timing.
