I am working on a Force 50 hp. I am a auto Mechanic by trade but am slow when it comes to outboards. Just got this boat a few months ago and the previous owner said the only repairs he had to do was replace the stator. Ran fine for the first few cruises and then I took it fishing. It was at idle for a long time and I must of overheated it. I replaced the impellor as it was shot. After trying to start it I problems. The neutral throttle was not working. Then adjusted the linkages and it worked well. Took it for a few laps with no issues. Went out yesterday and after about an hour it sounded like I was out of gas so I turned it off and switched from the 6 gal tank to the 12 gallon tank. It would only idle in max throttle. If I went to put it in gear it would stall. Now I can not get it started at all. Checked the fuel filter screen and it had some junk on it but not clogged by any means, pulled the fuse line off that comes out of the pump and it seemed to be spitting fuel out (not sure if it is supposed a stream because it was not) pulled the bowl off the carb and the float was not stuck and there was fuel in it. I am going to look at it more today. Any ideas what's wrong with it? I don't work on a lot of carbs. It may be something small I am missing. Are there any other filters besides the screen?
