First off boat details: Maxum 2100SR with a Mercruiser 350 that was bored .40 over, Alpha One lower unit
Last year I did a full rebuild of my boat engine, pulled the engine tore down the whole thing honed the cylinders, placed new rings, reseated vales and so on. I never touched the carb, I put it all together and it ran fine, this year it only starts and runs with me pouring gas in to the carb barrels, then dies when that gas runs out. I cant identify the carb and have attached images for someone to help identify it, also I need to know where the spring in the attached picture goes, i have a feeling that is causing a problem. The spring was not installed last year, and the issue I had then was it only started with pouring gas in the barrels, also when I put it in gear in the water it dies right away, but does not die in gear outside of the water.
So my question is what does the spring go to? What could cause the engine to die under a heavier load? And what can cause gas not being pulled to the engine? What Carburetor is this? (there is an 8867 market on top back right of the carb but i do not see anything saying Edelbrock)
