Default 5.7L V8 Mercruiser (CARB) will not start

Hello,

I have a 1998 Maxum SR2300 with a 5.7L V8 Mercruiser (CARB).

The other day pulling into the Marina I was shifting back and forth between Rev and Fwd and it stalled. I dont know if this event is related at all, but I have not been able to get it to run since.

The day before this issue, I replaced the Fuel Water Seperator and changed out the oil and ran it for a couple hours. But now when I turn the key it sounds like it wants to fire but it never does (except I get small puffs of exhaust).

There is about a 1/4 of a tank a gas and I am getting fuel into the CARB when I push down the throttle. I pulled off the fuel water seperator and dumped the gas into a glass jar, but could not identifiy any odor or seperation. I replaced the spark plugs and I am getting spark to them.


If any one has any suggestions or comments I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.
