Default Re: Possible Bad Gas/Fuel Delivery - Thanks SP

I had a chance over the weekend to try a few things:
1. Changed mercury fuel filter, the one I removed was about 1.5 years old, it was not clogged. (Still would not start)
2. Hooked up fresh gas from a different tank. (Would not start) Drained all old fuel from the lines.
3. Replaced spark plugs, the removed plugs where installed in April 2013. (Would not start)
4. Removed air cleaner and for some unknown reason it starts. Runs well at around 3000rpm, but I do notice a miss at idle speed. I ran it for about a 1/2 hour with the air cleaner off.
5. Turned off, and replace the air cleaner. Took awile but I got it started again with throttle lever abour 1/2. Ran again for about 5 minutes.
6. Shut down to replace the cowl. Would not start again??? Tried for about 15 minutes and gave up.

Anyone have any ideas? Carbs?

Thanks

John
