We have a 97 Wave Venture 90 hp twin cyl/twin carb that has been hard to crank for years.  What seems to work is full choke, full throttle, crank for 5-6 seconds.  Then full choke, NO throttle, crank until she kicks over (sometimes takes as long as 10 seconds).  If that doesn't work, we remove the plug in the plastic intake gizmo immediately above the carbs, pour a bit of gas in the hole, replace the plug, and crank on full choke.  It also helps to remove the rubber water diverter thingy from the carb air intake and place your hand over the opening, thus giving it a "super-choke" condition.

The primer bulb idea may well be a more permanent way to do the raw-gas-in-carbs method.

Our experience is also that once it fires the first time it kicks right over the rest of the day.
