My boat has been sitting for around 2 years and when i got it out this year it would not start. When i crank it with the spark arrester off i can see that it is just dumping fuel into the carb threw that vent tube above the choke plate. it dose this even after cranking for a couple of seconds. Oh yea and it has good spark. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Time for a carb rebuild, not uncommon after sitting for an extended time, I see it all the time.

Also check the clear hose from the fuel pump to the carb. If there is fuel in that hose, the pump diaphram is bad and the pump needs replaced.
