Default Mercury Sport Jet 120 Stalls after starting or turning left

Hi guys,

I've seen some good advice on here. I have a 1995 Baja Blast 120 HP Mercury Sport Jet. Always stored indoors, Michigan, fresh water. Updated stator a few years ago.

Last 3 years just put gas and oil in it in summer, stored in winter.

After one outing this year, it began to stall and wouldn't restart. After overnight it may start.

Cleaned some black like sand debris out of fuel filter screen and also in carb bowls. Cleaned plugs (fouled) and added fuel line cleaner and gas. Started back up. After chugging for a while it warmed up and ran decent for an hour or so, except felt like stalling when turning left for a while. Tried to lean up carbs... After stopping, won't restart.... gas in the water behind boat. I will pull the tube and look for pulsing gas flow as recommended.

What is the best way to clean out the gas tank etc. for water etc.???

Thanks

You can get a spin-on water separating fuel filter kit to splice into the fuel line. example
