Hard to start

GMSLITHO

Had some issues with the boat last year it would bog down at high idle so I replaced everything ,new plugs wires rotor and cap ,had the calibrator rebuilt and replaced the fuel pump it was running great but the only issue is with a cold start it wont start up I can start it with a little hot shot and when it warms up it will start all day no problem .I can take off the arrestor and when I pump the throttle with the key off I dont see any fuel shooting out of the jets >Im beginning to think the fuel pump I bought sucks , I se they sell a high pressure BOOST pump I reall cant thing of anything else its a 5.7 1999 240 Fiesta Vee

Sounds like carb to me. I don't know what carb you have but quadrajets were notorious for leaking down when sitting.
