HELP - 8V92 will not start
take off one end of the outlet line from the secondary filer you should get a flow when you crank. You can also drop the inlet line into a small container of fuel and by-pass to see if she fires. also hold throttle open, if air is low she is trying to start at idle.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I replaced both filters.
The Racor was low about 1.5 inches.
The Secondary was low about .5 inch.
I refilled both to top and cranked 10 seconds.
This time it did not start or fire at all.
After three tries, I opened both filters again and the
Racor was full. The secondary was down maybe .25 inch.
Refilled and cranked three more times, no fire.
Looked at secondary and it appeared full.

My questions now are, is there another way to build the prime?
Could it be a fuel pump problem? If so how do you test the pump?
