hello,
Ok so i have a 1978 120 mercruiser inline 4 engine that I just had rebuilt, I started doing repairs on the boat itself and the engine hasnt been started in about 5 months. So Iwent out and tried to start it and nothing it turns over and acts like it wants to start but nothing. By the way it started the last time with no problems at all. I tried adjusting the carb and the fuel is ok, and it is getting fuel also. Checked the distributor and wires all ok. It sound like its not getting enough fuel but i even tried starter fluid, and putting gas in the carb and still nothing. any ideas plz help.
