The Big 'd' 4/29

Are you using a water seperator between your tank and motor? Make sure your gas didn't shit the bed before you start ripping motor parts. Just a suggestion.I changed my fuel pump on my 2000 Merc 30 Jet motor few years back it's not that hard to do but don't assume it's the fuel pump right away. Could be the needles in your carbs which is a little tricky to do. I had the service manual for my motor also which made it a lot easier.

Engine starts right up, idles for a short time then when I give her the gas she craps out...............clog, pump I don't know!!! I have the manual for my engine as well.

Change your primer ball if not new,your fuel pump is a diaphram which is pretty simple.

1-gas- try new along with a new ball
2-plugs- fouled from fogging if you did that
3-carb- really sounds like you have crud in the needle or float area- if you can't blow through the needle- bingo- get some ether or brake cleaner and put on small straw and clean it out- be careful don't spray in your eyes!
