[QUOTE="v1mitch, post: 267853, member: 8847"] So I got the motor out and took it to my Uncle's. He had it for many years and has worked on several boats and motors. Abbreviated version.... We realized no gas was getting to the carb. Checked the fuel line and then the shut off valve pin (I don't know what the proper name is) that is between the tank and the fuel line. Found that it was plugged. We removed it and cleaned it out. Checked for spark, good. Checked for gas, good. Cranked a couple times and it fired up. It ran well while at his house, but now that I am back home with it, I can't get it to fire back up. I am getting fuel to the carb. Could my problem be in the carb? It will start rarely with the choke on, but then after a few seconds will die out. I have a local shop I can take it to, but would love to save $$$ if it is a fairly simple fix. Any suggestions?
