1992 Grady Tournament 190 w/ 1991 Johnson 175 silver Star

I just got my first boat by chance in a partial trade for something else. Great condition boat. Motor doesn't run. It turns over has spark. But I don't think I'm getting fuel to the motor. I took what I believe was the supply line into motor fuel pump off (pictures) and I have nothing when I turn the key. I don't know where to start diagnosing on the boat side of motor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That white connector looks way to big to be a fuel line... and not the right kind of connector, either. Looks more like a water line/flush attachment. Follow your fuel line from where it enters the cowl. From there, it may go through a filter and eventually to some type of pump. Try connecting directly with a portable fuel tank. You've got lots to look at, though.... filters, pickup line in tank, fuel lines, fuel bulb, filters, low pressure pump, carb, etc.

Being new to boars I was priming thr wrong bulb. That white fitting is a filter and when I remove the line fuel comes out when priming, so it is on motor side. Now gotta figure that out lol. Thank you
